I shoot the 156gr EOL out of my 6.5-300 and love them. I’m giving up some speed, but man do those bullets pack a punch. The 127 Barnes are something else! Ridiculous speed.
It’s just a fantastic cartridge
This is more than “a 6.5 Creedmoor on steroids”. It is THE FASTEST commercially available 6.5 there is. Faster than a 26 Nosler. Weatherby doesn’t make anything bad. This is a great gun for someone.
I have the same rifle, except with a muzzle brake, and absolutely love it. The Berger 156EOL...
TTT. Been out of town and forgot that I even had it listed. PMs returned, and here’s some additional info.
Trigger work done by Terry Marsh
Blueprinted action
Lilja barrel
Pillar and glass bedded
11° target crown
I think that’s about it. I spoke with Terry today and he asked why in the world I...
This is true. Feels weird to let it go, but I just really don’t need two that do the same thing, and there’s a sentimental attachment to the other one. So, someone is going to get a FINE shooter.
I’m letting go of a rifle I simply don’t use. I got in a large package deal from a friend getting out of reloading, and I just don’t see myself ever using it since I have several other 6.5s that I’m in love with.
Winchester action. Lilja barrel (I think it’s called a heavy sporter - fluted)...
This particular rifle is usually incredibly accurate (I had one that would shoot 1/2 MOA with factory ammo). And with that muzzle brake, there is so little recoil you won’t believe it (you’ll want to make sure you have hearing protection though).
This scope is one of the most underrated deer...
Only ones I’d contemplate letting go would be a Howa M1500 in 7mm RM in a Hogue stock, or a Weatherby Vanguard Kuiu edition chambered in 6.5-300WbyMag (absolutely awesome rifle, I just don’t need that sort of long range deer shooter)
These are very nice rings. Had a few sets of them over the years and never had one complaint. The spacing shins are excellent for setting up a scope for longer range to increase available elevation travel
