I have 3 boxes of Berger 153.5gr 6.5mm (.264') Long Range Hybrid Target bullets that I would like to sell or to trade. Two boxes are still sealed and one box was opened and I used 10 bullets (I purchased these bullets from Blue Collar Reloading 3 weeks ago). Thus, the total number of bullets is 290. I am asking $120 cash or $135 shipped with USPS Priority Mail. I would consider trading for 3 boxes of Hornady 147gr ELD-Match bullets.
The raeson I do not need these Berger bullets is that they are too long for my Tikka Tac A1 6.5CM magazine. In order to fit these bullets into the magazine, I need to seat them 95/1000 of an inch from the lands. I tried 10 bullets, 5 seated 20/1000 of an inch from the lands and I got 5-shot group of 0.72" @ 200 yards (0.36 MOA) and I was loading them manually one by one. Then I seated the other 5 bullets deep enough to fit the magazine and I got a 5-shot group of 0.67 MOA at 200 yards. Thus, for my Tikka I would need to load the cartridges one by one in order to get the best accuracy from these Berger bullets. I already developed a great load with Hornady 147gr ELDM bullets and I will just stick with it.
