?? 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!

My 6.5 saum loves 156s over retumbo on ADG brass and CCI 250s. My rifle has a 22 Bartlein SS barrel at 3000 fps.

Well it’s a medium action but the GS used a reamer with 0.080s free bore so my COAL is that of a SA,, 2.905, that’s 20 thousand from the lands.

My coal is around 3.080 medium length action, 26in 7.75tw, H1000, right at 3000fps jumping 0.025, N565 H1000 N570 all shot very well. Chamber has 0.215 freebore.
