Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor Berger loaded ammo?

I've had some on order from a local dealer for months now. I called Berger directly about a month ago. I was told that they are making it and catching up. So it should be in stock soon. And then Covid-19 hit. Now I'm trying to decide if I should cancel my order and get my deposit money back.
 
I ordered 400 of the Berger 140 ammo a few weeks ago but I just ordered a case of their 120 ammo. I don't see why it wouldn't be Lapua brass since it's loaded with the 120 Scenar-L
 
see that mile high has some berger 6.5 CM 153.5 gr factory ammo in stock and I would like to try it. I have a howa 1500 with a 1:8 twist shoots 140s really well do you guys think it would be able to stabilize a 153.5 grain bullet?
 

Not Berger but Creedmoor Sports has 140gr 6.5CM in stock, says Hornady bullets.

Am I seeing that right? $2 a round?!? With Hornady brass and the 140 BTHP?!?!?!?! That same round costs me about 40 cents to make 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
All of the 6.5 Berger loaded ammo is awesome. You will be hard pressed to beat its performance with reloads.

My numbers so far:
1. Surgeon/bartlien 26" barrel 1:8 twist - 2830 FPS from the 140gr load. Performance .5 MOA groups consistantly

2. KAC SR25 6.5 Creedmoor 22" 1:8 twist
140gr - 2730 FPS
144gr - 2700 FPS
.75 to .5 MOA groups

*140gr comes with Lapua srp
*144gr Lapua lrp

It looks like Berger is transitioning from 140gr to 144gr. I got my ammo from Milehigh for $27 per box when the latest lot of 140gr was released.

I just received 20 boxes of the new Berger 140gr Hybrid Target with the large rifle primers. It is still Lapua brass. It is part # 65-31011 vs the old 65-31010. I have three rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and they all love the 140gr and 144gr Berger Ammunition.
