I am curious which one I should get to shoot 600 yard F-class from my 6.5x55. The 130gr BC is .620ish and the 140gr BC is .630. Would it be worth it to sacrifice .010 of BC to get the increased velocity? There is only a dollar difference in price between the two.
Should I get 130gr or 140 gr JLK bullets

Depends on the throat length and the twist rate. For 600y my guess is that the 130's would be a flatter choice, but some time with JBM and the G7 (as opposed to the G1 BC you mentioned) is going to verify that.
If your rifle can't throat the 140s properly though, it's a dead argument.

Good luck on finding some what ever you decide on. I had to wait 4 months for mine to show up put well worth the wait.

Wow! I didn't realize the wait but oh well. I will just order more of them and shoot SMK's in the meantime. I am pretty sure that I will be able to load the 140's fine, but I think that I will order a box of the 130's just to test them out. Who knows, maybe they will be better at 600.
