Berger's New 144 gr 6.5 Hybrid Target

[OSOK - Crash]

Does it effect accuracy at all by opening them up?

Trying to bring this back to life! Anyone have any more data on the terminal performance of this bullet?

As would I. I am interested for the exact same reason.

Howdy, I have this from the Berger book, nothing on 6/5-300 yet. I will contact Corey from Berger and get what they have on that cartridge. This is for 140, it will give us starting point. And if anyone has a pet load they would like to share for the 264 wm and 6/5-300 Bee , that would be great. Thanks Well what is the secret to Attaching a picture. It says the file is to large????

Best way is to download a "photo compressor" app on your phone. The one I use (for Android phone) is called "Photo Compressor". Makes it super easy.

Bringing this back to the top for any other feedback.

I’m really intrigued by this bullet, and they’re actually available.

Not bringing any good hunting info on them. I use the LRHT in everything due to the high bc & the tolerances in the tip are held so tight I don’t need to trim my points anymore.

Howdy, tomorrow I am going to start load development with my 6.5-300 and the 144 Hybrid. I will be starting with us-869 . This has been the best powder, with this cartridge for me. You can't pressure this powder out??? But you can get great velocity out of it. Let's see what happens. 👍😁

Howdy, the 144 Hybrid did very well, easy to tune, but the 6.5-300 has always shot everything very well. As I had mentioned earlier I used Us869, CCI250, trimmed all cases to min. O.a.l. started at 87gr. 3124fps, 87.5 3154, 88. 3194, 88.5 3201, 89. 3256 jumped to 90. 3298, showing ejector marks, 91. 3357fps. I wanted to push it to 3400, but I stopped, had heavy bolt lift and ejector mark was real shiny. So I started my 3 shot per. given grain and 88.6grs was a great node. And mag. Max o.a.l. worked great. 5 shots at 100yds was 1 ragged hole. .4 dis. Just over 3200fps 5 shots 10.2 s.d . Good enough for this peckerwood. Please start at min. load. If your looking for a fast 6.5 and very easy to load for, and if you don't reload, I have tried 2 different factory ammo and as normal Weatherby ammo is great ammo. Hope this helps. 🤓

I know velocity doesn’t trump all but I would have expected higher velocity from a 6.5/300 Wby.

My 264WM Improved CAN shoot the 156 EOL at almost 3400 but I found the best node at just over 3300.

I agree Mike, but all guns are different.
I have been playing with N-570 lately in my 300RUM and 300WM, and getting remarkably speeds. And I got membership at Harry Jones Memorial shooting range, a 1000yd. range. I've never shot past 600, so I have been having a blast shooting steal out to 990.
And I get a chance I'm going to pull my
6.5's and 264's back out and see what I can do with N-570. Thanks for your reply. 👍
