Cool.

Looks like they are intended for 6.5-08 class of cartridges at high speed.

They turn a 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, or .260 Rem into a 2000yd ELR rifle.

He had center of mass hits at 1 mile with only 14.6 mils of elevation. He was only 6 mils to 1000yds. Wind drift is very minimal.

It shoots like a 6mm for speed, but with BCs better than 140gr 6.5mm target bullets.

Doesn't look like they're for sale on the Wagner page yet.

Perfect for my 260 AI !! I'd like to try the 151 gr in the 280 AI I'm about to build, I'll test the ABLR 168 first since I already have those. Nice find

I missed the listing before. They're on Warner's page listed at 121 gr. Also, at 1.462" they will be a bit long for the Grendel.

$62.40/50 = $1.25 each.

1.462 total length - 0.675 bearing surface and boat tail length = 0.787 nose length (although some of that is "cannelure"), which is 20mm.

6.5 Grendel case length of 38.6mm loaded within mag length of 2.260, which is 57.4mm, allows nose exposure of 18.8mm. If you load to 2.300 your nose exposure is 19.8mm.

The long nose of these may or may not work in the 65G depending on how much is defined as cannelure and how much is actually ogive.

Just emailed with Dan at Warner - he said this LFP is designed for higher velocities to get the max advantage of its design, in the range of 2750 to 2800. Doesn't mean they won't work in the Grendel - just may not get your money's worth.

Hmmmm, how do they compare to the 140 natrualis,?, as far as actual rifling contact ROS?

The reports on the bullet look intruiging, but if I were going to take advantage of it, it would be in a bolt gun with a case capacity of a 284 or larger. The Grendel is meeting the hunting needs with less expensive projectiles that fit in my mags.

Guess it's time to get a creedmoor.

From the published picture, It looks like they have a long boat tail you could whack off - if that's what you're asking about?

I don't have any, and may not. I thought this was going to be an easy little project on LFPs, but the lead-free market is rapidly expanding (pun intended) and I'm going broke keeping up.
