6.5 130gr Nosler AB

[MHWASH]

Does anybody know the true BC of this bullet? I've always read where Nosler's BCs are inflated. I believe that Litz has measured the true BC, but I cannot find it. I plan on using this bullet in my Creedmoor as a do it all bullet out to 600 yards. I haven't tested any loads yet, but I believe I can reach 3000 fps out of my 24" barrel.

I don't have answer on your true BC. But 3000 out of a CM will be tough to do. The powder that way get you 2900 is RL17.

.44 is what my Kestrel says for the 130gr Accubond vs .509 according to the data at Midway.

I’m able to get 2900 with a 140 SST seated long, so I’m hopeful.

Ballistic AE has it at .488 and that’s been pretty accurate in a 6.5x284 at 3,075 fps.

Unfortunately I found the AB go be slow in comparison to several other heavier bullets that I loaded for in my 260 Rem.

In Litz's book it lists the 130 AB @ .44 G1 and .225 G7. The 129 LRAB is .552/.283

Thank you

BTW. I got 2950 out of the 130s. Group was less than 1”.

They are a great game bullet in the 6.5, we have a couple 6.5x47 Lapuas and they are what we shoot. Very accurate and have performed extremely well on deer.

One of my .264 Win Mag loves the 130 AB. It flattens deer both mule and whitetails. It is a wonderful bullet for pronghorns too. I’m getting 3200+FPS with Retumbo out of a 26” Sendero.

Here’s the load I’m going to use. 4 shots in blue.

Looks good! Confirm your scope settings and get some meat on the pole.

Not to jump post. Whats your powder recipe for this velocity?

I think it was around 53 grains R-23. Not 100% sure though, I need to check with my buddy because he worked up loads.
