Aussie Made High BC 6.5mm Pills?

Post by Mulga »

I'm wanting to know if any Aussie manufacturer offers a 6.5 mm/.624 cal projectile that will perform as well as the Berger Hybrid Target?

Cheers

A mate has tried some of his 7mm projies but i don't know anyone using the 6.5's as they are not that popular in F Class.

Great :) With the Aussie $$ dropping and availability of imported pills sporadic, I'm going to give these a try :)

You could get some ACP's made up to your specs.

I forgot Ken made 6.5's. I use his 67gr projies in my 6mmPPC and lots of guys use his 103's in their 6mm BR/Dashers.

Kens Copperhead 140gn 6.5s are apparently very similar design to the Hybrids. As I cant find any hybrids anywhere, I will likely get some of his 6.5s. I know his 103gn 6mms are very popular with long range shooters and my 6BR and Dasher loves them.
