[QUOTE="olsingleshot, post: 665714, member: 6862"] I tried the 140 VLD and they shot real well. The velocity is close to the 6.5C. I have found each cartridge has a bullet weight range that is optimum and in the 6.5x47 it is 120-130gr. In some cases the 6.5x47 matches the 6.5c and the .260 but can't beat them. The case design handles pressure very well, the recoil is light (great for me) and barrel burn out is less likely. Is this an elk cartridge? I think with the right bullet under 400 yards it could do a nice job. Yes, this is a keeper for me. I even ordered another one in a light weight to carry hunting. The Trijicon was excellent. It is hard to express this in writing without actually looking through one. I am not sure a custom turret is available. [/QUOTE]
