    I liked it.
    People really need to have a realistic range and usage when choosing a bullet.
    With a slow barrel or closer ranges 130’s definitely makes sense.
    I’m probably going to 130’s with my 260 when I shoot up my current bullet stock now that my 260 isn’t a do it all rifle.

    150’s are silly in a 260 Or 6.5 CM.
    I ran 147 for a while but I got a good speed with them.

    Mils for the win for what I do!

    Great podcast

    I totally agree with the comments about 338 LM. I have shot 285s and 300s and like the 250s a whole lot more. Problem is that the variety isn't there. The 250 grain Lapua Scenar works great so I use that. I know Federal makes a 250 SMK but haven't tried that one yet
