I just read on 6mmBR.com that Sierra is releasing a 123gr Match King in 6.5mm. Probably a good bullet for the 6.5x47, but without the velocity or the BC of the heavier projectiles in 6.5x284 that perform so well at long range.

Ben,

I guess it will be a modern replacement for the 120gn SMK, in a similar way to the 142 repacing the 140. Will be interesting to see what BC they can get. The Lapua 123 is already very good, so will they be able to better it?
