TassieTiger wrote:What type shooting is the Q ?
I’ve got 3 x loads for the 260.
95’s, 120’s and 140’s - 120’s appears to be most accurate for me with 140’s very close behind. 120’noslers BT perform well on roo.
I just procured some 147’s eldx to develop... for long range Paper...versatile round but need to define shooting wants and needs.

Would it stabilise heavier options? I want to go as heavy as possible

Force = mass times acceleration...a faster / smaller projectile can beat (In regards to force) a heavier But slower projectile.

Heaviest I've used in my 6.5's is 170gn bullets.
85gn, 90gn, 95gn, 140gn, 140gn, 147gn, 160gn, 170gn.

hey harry , projectile choice can be a can of worms i shoot a 6.5x55 with a 23.5" barrel . i've used 140sst's, nosler 120 bt's on game , mostly goats and a couple of pigs . 140sst's work good for me for various game weight , the 120bt's being quite explosive . but you might get better speed out of your 20" barrel with a 120 bullet weight . hornady also make 123 and 129 gn sst's ,and a 129gn sp interlock. the go-to bullets according to nathan foster are the nosler partition's , but these aren't cheap. the most accurate and resonably priced 140 i've shot is the speer spitzer. i've yet to use these on game though
a good mate of mine shoots the 123gn sst out of his 6.5x55 zastava and reckons they knock down deer real well . i think i recall these were designed with the 6.5 CM in mind . with good bullet placement any of these would do ...

What are those 2 dildo looking projectiles on the right??
And what barrel length/twist rate you got going blade racer?

That link is not at all useful without knowing the length of the bullets.
