[QUOTE="HiTechRob, post: 1492128, member: 71328"] Yes. I have a Gunwerks Clymer 6.5 PRC I built with a Titanium action and Proof Research 24" carbon barrel. I am shooting a 143-grain ELD-X and getting 2,920 velocities at the muzzle with my load. I wouldn't say I have hunted extreme long range with it, but it definitely shoots comfortably between 600 - 900 yards with the terminal performance to take game ethically. Based on my ballistics, the max range for one-shot kill is about 960 - 980 yards to keep 1,600 fps velocity and 1,000 ft/lbs of energy for the bullet to perform. I have heard of others taking Mule deer and antelope out to farther ranges, but I have not personally. I will be doing a load workup for the 147 ELD-M soon as several of my western hunting buddies are using it as their preferred round. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
