Range Report Really heavy 6.5's

[MLC]

Has anyone tried the Cauterucio 147 or 155 VLD's?
I had some 120's sitting around for a while and they are sleek!
I can only imagine what the heavy ones will do in the wind.

What's you're twist rate? You'll need around a 1:8 for the 147, and prob a 1:7.5 or 1:7 for the 155's. What's the BC on those?

Re: Really heavy 6.5's

I have a 30" 1/8 with a case that can push 139's 3300 plus.
With the speeds I can get I think that an 8 will be plenty of twist.
I think that the barrel would be better used shooting the heavier ones at 2900.

For reference:
139 Lapua 136 Hoover 120 Cauterucio 120 AMAX

Re: Really heavy 6.5's

Yes, you should be good. What caliber?

6.5 Rem Mag AI.
It's built on a long action so using the 140+ class of bullets is easy.
