Four high BC 264 bullets 100 ELD-VT, 116 Apex, 140 &156 Berger

Forgive me but I need a little experience starting a thread. So thought I'd see if I could post pictures of these four bullets.

Left to right the Hornaday 100 gr ELD-VT, 116 Apex afterburner, and Bergers 140 and 156 elite hunters.

Lengths 1.243, 1.420. 1.411, and 1.500. So the Apex is slightly longer than the 140 Berger.

Advertised G7 BC = 0.226, 0.268, 0.310, and 0.347

Speeds I hope to get using H1000 in my 6.5 SAUM would be about 3500, 3300, 3000, and 2800 fps. But probably need a faster powder for the 100 gr. What I have is AA2700, Norma 205, H4831, IMR 4320 and IMR 4064. I'll work something out.

I'm getting 3030 with the 140 Berger Elite hunters using the H1000

With the powders mentioned I would try
H-4831 if H-1000 doesn't work.
For the Apex and the VT I would try 4831.
Hope this helps.

H4350 or H4831sc For the 100gr and 166gr. H4831SC for the 140gr and H1000 or Retumbo for the 156. Depending on barrel length Retumbo will get you 2900-3000 with the 156's.

I plan to shoot some of these bullets & will work up form factors and develop loads for 6.5 CM, 6.5-06, & 6.5 PRC.
