Bulk 6.5mm bullets

[saskminer]

I'm trying to find a source for bulk 6.5mm bullets for target shooting. I'm currently using Nosler Custom Competition 140gr bullets. My guns are Swede milsurps so I'm pretty well ruling out cast bullets due to twist rate. Maybe that's a wrong assumption?

I see some bulk bullets on Tradeex but does anyone know of another place to get that particular calibre? Paying 50 cents a bullet just to punch a hole in paper isn't too awesome...

My reloads are costing me 80 cents each, of which over half is the cost of the projectile.

I'm using a Lyman 160 grain gas checked cast lead bullet pushed by 4227 and at 300 yds last year out of my M1896 Swedish Mauser, it produced an nice little 3 rd group shaped like a triangle measuring 1"x 1"x 1"

Sierra sells bulk boxes of 140 grain Match King. Not sure of the price.

Mystic Precision can get them in for you at very competitive prices

I launch cast from a '96, and a Krag...soon a Japanese 38, and a carcano too.

Where are you getting your cast bullets from or are you making your own?

Cast m'own... It's been a process, but honestly I'm now finding I like casting/reloading as much as shooting....

Member Jethunter makes all manner of cast that are lubed n' checked.
