NEW 6.5mm Prototype: A Tale of Two Bullets

[Bigfoot]

Dang, that post is almost as cryptic as a Sneaky post.

WHAT UP S1?

Bigfoot, the groove diameter of the bearing surface, or shank, is 0.256, if that's what you mean.

And there it is...

Speaking of 100 grain A-Max. Are they still being made? What happened with them? Along with the original poster a good 100 grain'ish bullet getting velocity up to shoot flat early and carry further (high BC) would be a dream bullet.

Not sure what the best markers to use are but I have used dry erase since learning that trick. Seem to work ok.

Had day off today and some loads ready to shoot and temps in the upper 70s but winds 25 gusting to 40mph groups would have been more of a weather report than useful data other than wind hold.

Thanks kmon. I guess we can find a few different ones here in the giant metroplex area. If only I could find the powders I want...

When you get production up to speed I am very very interested in purchasing the bullets have 20" Odin works barrel that is scary accurate and think this would be dynamite on hogs thanks

1st post for a new guy here.I would like to see a sectioned in half bullet if you have one.Very interesting thread.

I have used an assortment of Sharpie pens for coloring the tips, works great transferring the color to paper or cardboard. but I prefer the OCW test. since getting any diffusing around here makes for a long 3 hour drive one way

xlcc, welcome in. I can cut a pill in half tomorrow, we're just deciding which depth of cavity to do. Bft has his idea, I have mine.

Would be interested in the C90/C95 when they go "production". I'm not a poser so I'll admit to not having the prototype or "first run".

I am a pretender however so I'll claim to have the necessary powders/primers to make it work first time. What cases are being used in testing? Did I miss that?

Darn, now I'll have to be a faker too.

LB45, our testing used both Hornady and Lapua. PA_Allen's used Hornady. Bwaites used . . . Bill, what did you use?
