6.5 A-Tip

What do you guys think, will these fit in a mag?

[A5BLASTER]

Sweet Jesus ��

Maybe on a 6.5-284, 6.5-06 or a 264 Win Mag. I bet they’d intrude on the case capacity of 6.5x55 Swede, 6.5 CM or 260.

So that's one in the "no" category.

Show us a picture of it loaded to the longest COAL just touching the lands.

6.5x55 with the original throat should eat those up no problem.

The 153gr A-Tip is surprisingly close to fitting in the mag while touching the lands. If I backed off .020" it would probably fit. The 150gr SMK is about .200" from fitting in the mag. 135gr A-Tip might actually be a good fit in a Grendel if you're into heavies. I'm not interested in the lighter A-Tip so someone else will have to try it out.

I wouldn't have a problem at all running that 153 A-tip in my howa. Sure wouldn't make a ton of speed but it sure would be a short range game hammer.

They're $.75ea, I don't think I'd use them for short range shooting.

I meant for me.

If you want a short range hammer, why not the Hornady 140 flat bottom, spire point I think?

Because I like being diffrent lol. You know what could be better some 153 A-tip handloads from my 16 inch AA barreled 6.5 grendel packed in six8 pmags.
