[QUOTE="Longrangers, post: 1893945, member: 101564"] My son has shot both the Berger 140 hunting bullet as well the eldx 143. Both bullets performed well. My son likes his 6.5/284 a lot. So far he has been one shot one kill presently. When we were going elk hunting I wondered where our limits should be on elk, so I know some guys that used this caliber extensively for elk and they said that the line should be drawn at approximately 900 yds. I can tell you that the gun is very accurate and well placed shots is not a problem from watching him shoot it off a bipod at ranges beyond 1000yds. Yeah barrel life is a concern but not for him when he said that the gun gets zeroed in and has only been shooting one shot so far per animal. He runs retumbo powder with good brass and I personally have seen his velocity over 3100. But he dropped down into the 3040fps area. [/QUOTE]
