For the 6.5mm Shooters: a Qiuestion

[fx77]

8 twist barrel

In your experience...
Will a 140 gr VLD 6.5 mm bullet stabilize at 200 yds. or farther out?
Thanks

Although my experience with my 1:8" twist 6.5mm tubes is with Scenar 139gr (for which, it kicks a$$), I'd say that a 1:8" twist 6.5mm barrel should have no problem with the 140gr VLD.

the vld's like to be jammed....or nearly jammed....it shows up real well at 1000yd

8.5" twist or faster will work for the 140's.
