NECG carries RWS loaded ammo for both the 6.5x68 and 8x68s.

I have an FN Mauser Deluxe 270 Win that was rebarreled to 8x68s.
I'm getting about 2850 MV (24" barrel) using Norma brass, Federal #215 primers and MRP powder in front of a Nosler 200gr Partition. The bullet is seated deep due to mazagine length. I have not hunted with this rifle yet.

I have a 1941 6.5x68 Schuler mode by Christoph Funk. I haven't reloaded for it yet but I will soon.

I purchased one box each of RWS 6.5x68 w/93 gr bullet and 6.5x68 w/127 gr bullet from NECG.

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 was really disappointed with the 93 gr MV.

I have Hirtenberger 6.5x68 w/123 gr bullets. These chronographed at 2,838, 2,969 & 2,919.

RWS 6.5x68 w/93 gr bullet

RWS 6.5x68 w/127 gr bullet

RWS 93 and 127 gr and Hirtenberger 123 gr rounds
