Consensus on 156 Berger’s?

[Weldor]

Just got done checking data at 925 yards. Wind was RIPPING.

Just curious, What's your COAL? I'm thinking about loading some but need to watch my mag length.

I’m at 3.310” right now with the 156

 

[6.5x284]

3 bulls and 3 or 4 deer with the 156 for me. Bulls were 350, 380, and 550. Deer have all been sub 100. All died awesome killing wise but I didn’t perform a necropsy on them, just quartered or boned out. I think both 300 yard bulls had pass throughs, the 550 I don’t think did but he was bedded and bullet was under far shoulder hide on the hillside side of the elk.

This summer I may play with some 147 ELDM just to compare velocity and see what’s the attest to 600 in my gun where most my hunting is within.

A couple of elk and bears ranging from 275 to 648, all one shot kills. The one bear did a flip, spun in circles biting at the wound and died in about a 15 seconds. Good destruction on everything.

We make it a habit to check all tips from the 156, 215’s, and 245’s.

Thank you! Was just out yesterday shooting a buddy’s brand new 6.5-7 with 156’s. 3100 fps with H1000 no problem in a 26”. Easy accuracy as well. Really looking forward to spending more time behind the cartridge and bullets

Only experience with the 156’s so far. 50 yard shot. Hard quartering away shot. Absolute destruction. Oryx only went 20 yards and was done.

I have used them on one Whitetail hunt. About 200 yards double lunged. Blew lung matter out the exit hole with a bucket of bucket on the trail. Ran about 75 yards, Whitetails are amazing. Should have taken pictures of the inside but the lungs and heart were vaporized.
