6.5 CM 130 TMK factory ammo?

[Loper]

Do any manufactures load the 6.5 130 TMK that I can buy off the shelf? I know you can get the 77 TMK through boutique ammo companies, but just wondering if any of the bigger manufacturers load the 130.

I cut my 6.5 CM down to 18” and have been planning on shooting the 140. ELD-M. However, with the reduced barrel length I thought it may be a good idea to try the 130 TMK for some additional velocity. I have the equipment to reload, but I just don’t have the time to do it right now.

Browning loaded some around 2020, but I have not seen any since. I believe Federal also had some branded as "law enforcement" around the same time.

Not a lot of factory options

Thank you. $70 a box isn’t cheap.

No that's pretty steep for 6.5CM. I've been giving some thought to cutting down one of my creedmoors as well but figured I'd still shoot the 140 bergers or 143 eld x.

I chopped my Tikka to 18” and was shooting factory 147’s initially. Low 2500fps I think, got me out to 500ish yards still for 1800fps threshold.

 

[Loper]

Good to know. Maybe I’ll stick with the 140s and not worry about the velocity loss.
