Re: 6.5x68s - I never heard of it - until I bought it.
|
Daryls, I purchased one box each of RWS 6.5x68 w/93 gr bullet and 6.5x68 w/127 gr bullet from NECG several years ago. I was really disappointed with the 93 gr MV.
The MV of the 93 gr bullet is listed on the box as 3,770 ft/s. I chronographed three rounds: 3,362, 3,347 & 3,383.
The MV of the 127 gr bullet is listed on the box as 3,150 ft/s. I chronographed three rounds: 3,069, 3,060 & 3,053.
I have Hirtenberger 6.5x68 w/123 gr bullets. These chronographed at 2,838, 2,969 & 2,919.
