Does anyone still shoot the 6.5 TCU ? I have a 10" tube that is a good round in my opinion.Everyone now days goes fast and faster I like the little tcu just wondering why everyone seems to be against it.

A friend gave me 300 100 gr nosler bt and 300 120 gr nosler bt couple of years ago. All six boxes were still sealed the old green,red ,black box.Well I had to get a barrel to shoot them with.Ed had this 10" with dies for $130.00.It is a good shooter easy and cheap to load for.The 120 grain bullets are moving at 2100 fps the 100 grain 2225 fps if my memory is working today.

I have one and love it.  It's a custom VV 11" on a Douglas blank and is throated for 120 grain bullets or shorter.  It was less popular as a silhouette round due to the marginal toppling of rams compared to 7mm TCU.   It'll be with me in the woods using 120 gr Nosler BT bullets hoping to fill my doe tags.
