Berger 6.5 153.5gr, any in 65CM?

[GBMaryland]

Anyone have any luck shooting burger 153.5 grain bullets in their 65 Creedmoor?

I took these to the range and chronographed a box… Got a 2 inch group at 100 yards with a 24in Bartlein 1:7.5 stainless… which sucks.

The rifle can shoot the crap out of 147 grain ELDM‘s all day long…

The SD of the berger factory ammo was phenomenal…

That's surprising that they shoot that badly out of your gun, even if it's factory loads.

If you're reloading, I'd guess you just need to find the right powder combination??? I love them out of my PRC, pushing them at ~2917 fps.

I responded to your questions there:

Berger 153.5

Looks like it should be consistent it claims some good BC’s. How will it stack up against the 156? Will it be a good performer on game? Thoughts, opinions? How long tell LRO gets some for testing? Surprised no one has started a thread for these yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GB - Assuming these were shot suppressed?
Try them with no can & or switch can & adapter.
The Xylo I was muzzle blasting you with at class did the same thing with Factory 140 Bergers. Would shoot 147’s under an inch, but Berger 140 was 2”ish. Switched out brakes and the Berger hammers with the Precision Armament brake.

It also hammers those shooting next to me, sorry about that.
