6.5 mm bullets

i'm running a hart 8.5 with a 26 inch and a break , How do the accubonds work with that twist rate?

8.5 is the perfect twist rate for your 6.5-284. I have had them in 8, 8.5 and 9 twist. I prefer the 8.5 twist cut rifle barrels.

Wow, I'm surprised, no votes for either the 120 grain TTSX or the 125 grain Partition. I had a .260 Rem built on my old 700 ADL action. I used a 1-8"twist Shilan stainless Select Match barrel and had the action fully blueprinted.  Neal Jones did a great job on the trigger getting it to 2-1/2 pounds and breaks like glass with zero creep. I was planning on using either the 120 TTSX or the 125 NP to hunt with depending on which was most accurate.  Anyone using either of these?

  120 TTSX and the Nosler Partitions BC sucks. The 130 and 140 Accubond trump the 125 NP and terminal performance almost mimics the NP, being a bonded core bullet.

I'll slum a Hornady Interlock day in and day out before I'll even look the TTSX's way over a gun counter, but that's just me. I spent time killing chit for 20 plus years with Noslers and Hornadys, instead of reading advertisements about TTSX's.

Don't think I just dislike the TTSX's, I feel all Barnes bullets are equally worthless.


Heck, I'd hunt deer with a 95 gr V-Max out of a .260 or 6.5-284. All personal preference.
