[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1374493, member: 24952"] My 18.5" 6.5CM gives me a very respectable 2770fps MV loading a Hornady 143 ELD-X bullet in front of 42gr of IMR4451. I think it´s a great medium game rifle that can get you out to 800-900 yds. I haven't had the chance to shoot game that far, but paper and steel are piece of cake. I tried RL-17 but MV drops to 2720 and it´s very temp sensitive. It needs a little more barrel length to reach full potential. I've been wanting to try a faster powder like target on it, but maybe after deer season ends. Right now I´ll stay with this load. [/QUOTE]
