Spot-on Ripp!
Right now, the 6.5's sit in the locker while I am HOT to trot to kill something with my 1936, Model 70 .30/06.
Just found loads putting 200gr. Nosler Partitions and 180gr. SST's in the same small group, 3" high at 100 with 165gr. SST's hitting 1 1/4" left at the same elevation.
That makes the zeros with these at 210yards, 240yards and 265yards.
Maybe the 6.5x55 next year! With that ladder rear sight and the 140 Sierras, I expect to easily smack the 1,000 meter steel buffalo.
Was rereading this..man that 200 gr '06 load would work pretty good on moose I would think???
I actually have a Cooper Jackson model in '06..was actually the first series they come out with years back..have never shot it..but plan to soon..put a Swaro on it 3-10 power...think it would also make an excellent leopard gun from the blind ..
Will have to contact you for suggestions on loads...
Have a good one..
Ripp
