Treat the load development like you would for a berger vld. I'm not a big fan of jamming into the lands, I used Berger's advice on loading on the lands, 20 thou 40 thou and 100 thou jump (or whatever it said on the website, I forget now)
Found my rifle likes to shoot 'em about 45 thou jump.
Shot at 800 yards today. These are some flat shooting bullets. My come up at 800 yards is 16 MOA. It was just hammer the 12" steel. Temp is 29 degs with a 14 mph wind at my 8. Very happy with load.
I shot some 140 JLKs and great results with these bullets also.
i've got about 2300 of these 130's. havent hammered down a final load yet, but my 6.5x47 pushes them to 2910 with 38.4 grains of varget. I will probably end up with a final load closer to 2880ish.
the 38.4 load hammered a nice 7 inch group at 1086 two weekends ago. I know that may not sound like much around here, but I was happy with it.
I shot 2 of my other 260s out at 800 yards. I drop 2 moa off of my dope. One was shooting 18.8 went to 16.5 moa and the other 20.4 to 18.25 moa. This load works great in my guns. The JLKs are impressive.
shot a million fufillion of these in 6.5x47...lapua brass, jlk 130, viht N550, cci small magnum primer-----shot a string of twenty rounds in competition sub 8 inches for all at 800 meters---it was raining during my string-----one of my fav bullets
I would like to hear from anyone who has shot the 130's in a 6.5x55. do you think 3100 is possible with the swede or would you have to step up to a 6.5x284 for that kind of speed?
Be careful to run a good amount of neck tension when jamming these bullets. In my chamber, .002" was not sufficient. Bullets sticking in the chamber of a tactical rifle in a match don't make good scores.
