6.5 156 EOL

[Mike D Texas]

This is good to hear on the performance of the 156s on goats in particular. I have a Wyoming trip planned in 23 and will taking my 264 WMI.

It seems to like the 156 @ 3350fps.

I bet it will work ha ha

Great post and why I prefer Bergers vs solid copper bullets.

You won't get a lesser result from any of the good solid coppers. a bullet through the liver is simply fatal every time.

Whitetail 2 days ago. 1 and done at 387 yds.

That's the exit. Don't think he took a step. In all fairness any good bullet should of gotten it done.

Impressive. What cartridge?

6.5 SS with RL 26. 2990 fps. I think I'm 8 shots and 8 dead animals with this rifle/bullet combo so far. What's been impressive to me is the number of DRT's with it. Works very well for me so I'll keep on using it.

Thanks.

I am working on a SAUM that should be close or a bit higher with velocity. It is throated for the same bullet.

I also have a 264 WMI that runs them at 3350 so interested to see how they will do at that velocity.

That's got to be fun. My 6.4LRM runs the 140's at 3,400 and hits like a Mack Truck on everything.

I'd like to know how they do at that velocity at closer distance. A few years ago I had a nice muley jump up right @ 100yds. I popped him twice right behind the shoulder with a 6.5mm 160grain Matrix... neither exited or showed that he'd even been hit. Kinda scared me a little.

Now that Matrix is unavailable, I intend to switch to the 156 in my 6.5wsm.

Hopefully I will know next month.

Hopefully I will know next month.

Looking forward to hearing what you find.

6.5 prc, 156 Berger, 2925mv. 380yd shot on a buck antelope. Complete pass through. Looked like a puff of white smoke out the back side as it zipped through. No complaints here.
