?? 6.5 SAUM/156 EOL data and speeds ??

[83cj-7]

Anyone shooting the 156 EOL in a 6.5 SAUM?

I’m in the process of building one with a 18.5” barrel and I’m planning on mostly running the 135 Berger Classic Hunter due to my past experience with that bullets performance and accuracy. That said, I’m interested in hearing about anyone running the 156. If so, what kind of speeds are you getting with what barrel length?

Tikka Veil something or other, it’s my brother’s rifle, I load for him. Reloder 26, he gets 2934 fps.

I have only stuck with the 140 gr berger in my 6.5 SAUM but it is a SA with the 0.88 fb so those fit pretty nicely. Not sure how much case capacity I would lose with a 156. They are running 3080 so haven’t had a reason to change but always like to play with new bullets!
