Product Description
The "Cayuga" series is a turned copper projectile designed with the most demanding hunters in mind. These projectiles are the epitome of long range, precision hunting performance with their high BC, lower weight and sleek profiles. The bullet designs are all measured via acoustic chronograph and/or Doppler radar for the utmost in confidence of the equipment. The bullets are designed to be used in a broad range of hunting calibers and magazines. As compared to other monolithics or hybrid construction projectiles these exhibit better form factors, better repeatability, lower weight and higher BC's. Not only are the trajectories better with these projectiles but the overall performance aids the competitor in "shootability" with reduced recoil for the performance gained.
The traditional factors of tough bullet construction (weight retention) and deep penetration are demonstrated aptly with the Cayuga series. For example the 122gr 6.5mm has been tested in 10% gel to penetrate nearly 27" and retain over 90% of its weight. This makes it an ideal projectile for long shots on the biggest deer species in the world, shots which would otherwise require a large, heavy recoiling magnum rifle or simply unreasonable to attempt. The 123 Cayuga has multiple elk to its credit already using only a 6.5 Creedmoor during the test program. See the online article here.
Each bullet is individually turned on high precision lathes and measured to ensure the utmost in consistency. These projectiles are not bulk washed/tumbled or other bulk-medthod processed to ensure that the sleek profiles are not damaged after machining is completed.
Length: 1.365"
Optimal Freebore: 0.160"-0.200"
G1 BC average = 0.577*
G7 BC average = 0.280*
*The average BC was measured using 8tw 5R rifled barrels and being shot at approximately 2740fps. Different rifling geometry and muzzle velocity will affect the BC in a nominal manner.
Test packages of 100ct bullets are available however the best pricing of course comes with larger volumes. Volumes of 250pcs or more will be filled in bulk packages not in 100ct boxes.
6.5mm Cayuga 122 requires a 1:8tw barrel. We cannot accept returns of projectiles due to liability reasons.

122 Cayuga
This year on a 1st rifle public land solo elk hunt I was able to see first hand how these bullets preform on elk. I took my 6.5 PRC as a backup rifle. After having issues with a 300 wsm I switched to my 6.5PRC. I have used this for antelope this year with great results. On the last day of season I took a cow elk with a shoulder shot. This round passed through, and during quartering you would never convince me that this was a 6.5 mm 122 grn bullet. The damage was massive. Safe to say I’m a believer in the 6.5 Cayuga bullets. On a side note PVA has been awesome in answering questions and providing direction in load development. A big thumbs up.

Cayuga 122 6.5
I have these loaded up in my 6.5 grendel with 28.2 grains of IMR 8208XBR at 2.12 COL, and they cloverleaf at 100 meters. Velocity is 2545 fps out of my 20 inch bbl Sanders Armory 6.5 grendel AR15. Side by side comparison to Hornady 120 gr CX was not in Hornady's favor, yielding 1.5 inch groups, and 30 fps standard deviation where the Cayuga's were all touching and SD was 7 fps

6.5MM 122GR CAYUGA
Every powder charge i have topped with these bullets has shot crazy good in a light weight 6.5 PRC hunting rig. Worst groups around .7 and best around .3. SDs have also been great. Liked them so much that I ordered them for a stubborn 28 Nosler... not surprised that they shoot excellent in that rifle too.
