.264 Cal / 6.5mm 145 Gr. TGK - Sierra Bullets

Introduced in 2024, this bullet was engineered around the 6.5 PRC. Giving a heavier bullet with a tremendous G1 B.C of .597 to capitalize on the high velocity potential of the intended cartridge. Also providing excellent expansion results in a true long range hunting bullet. Accuracy is...

Looking forward to trying these in our 260 and 6.5x55. Says it's designed for the 6.5 PRC but should do fine at lower speeds. Based on how easy it was to get the 175 gr TGK to shoot out of my 6.8 Western I'm excited to try these and would expect the same.

These should be a good fit for the 26 Nosler as well. I like to shoot 156 Bergers out of mine but I’m sure these will do just as well

In your big 26 you should be able to get 3200-3300 fps with that bullet. That's got to shoot incredibly flat. In my wife's 6.5x55 and my 260 (both LH Tikkas) should be able to get 2700 fps at least.

Maybe I missed something but other than if you rifle doesn’t shoot 147 eldm, 143 ELs or Berger 140 VLD, not sure why one would go for this TMK? BC is signify lower than the 146 which has proved to be a good hunting bullet on rokslide

I prefer Sierra over the options you mention even though those will work. They should be a bit tougher so hopefully not as destructive at closer ranges from what I've seen on the 260/6.5 Creedmoor thread. They still should do well farther than I'll ever shoot. I's also nice to have options.
