Hi Bruce
Thanks for the info, I cant read swedish so I thought I would ask.
I use them every now & then and they shoot about the same elevation at 900yds as the 139 lapua.
I get them from Rebel Gun Shop, Woolongaba in Brisbane, last buy at $38.00 per 100 by the 1000 + F
I still dont know thier BC.

Norma DiamondLine 130g has a BC of 0.548.

SMK 142 is 0.595 (conservative).

Bruce,

You may have been confusing it with a solid copper 6.5mm bullet 108gr BC 0.598 which has been mentioned on the 6mmBR site recently.
http://home.snafu.de/l.moeller/6,5-mm/6,5-284-KSG.htm.
How good is that? Nearly 3500fps with a 0.598 BC bullet. However the jury is still out on how accurate (or not) they are!

Peter,

Click on http://www.norma.cc/sida/eng/index.html then click BALLISTIC on the top menu line, then Ballistic on the second menu line. Wait for it to load then click ok on Match bullets, then click on .264 Diamond Line 130gr and the Ball. Coefficient will display near the top left of screen.

They certainly make you work for your information at Norma :roll: !
