Looking ta build some long range for caliber cartritages. Just Target stuff.
First is my 6mm Rem. Tbis one more of a statement as I know what Im gonna use. 107 Bergers or Sierras. Both shoot very well @ about 3100 fps. Bergers harder to get but shoot just a lil better. Sierras easy plus 500 boxes easy ta get.
Gun is a 24" 1:8 HB Howa 1500 long action re barrelled to 6mm Remington.
My 6.5 Grendel. This is where my questions are.
Im limited to about 130g cause its a small Powder cap and velocity drop is real past this weight.
First thought is the 107 SMK. Velocity advantage.
Or the 120/123 SMK.
Gun is a 20" Howa 1500. I dont have the gun. I do have a 22" but want ta build a 20" HB.
Probably 1k with 6mm but 6/750 yards with the 6.5. Unsure how much farther its viable.
Probably 1k with 6mm & 6.5/06 but thinking, 6/750 yards with the 6.5. Unsure how much farther its viable. If you have other bullet suggestions. By all means, suggest them. I have zero experience with these ranges.
Thanks fellers!
