6.5 x 55 for long range

[tac-driver]

anyone shooting 6.5 x 55 long range 600 to 1000 yds. Not ready to reload this year so will have to settle for factory ammo. Just wondering what grain seems to be the best performer out to the further ranges...thanks

Run some 140 or 142 Match bullets ( Match King, Amax, Scenar) etc and don't look back!
This is the bullet that will getrdun when you sart reaching out.

Alberta Wildcats also builds a very nice 142 ultra low drag bullet.
