[QUOTE="LoneStar308, post: 1382191, member: 104048"] Yessir, 6.5CM, was shooting 143gr Hornady ELD-X. New bullets, lots of marketing hype; I have had success with the SSTs before. Didn't know of any factory loads with Bergers at the time, I see now that Federal is making some w/ the 130gr Hybrids. I might give those a try next. I don't have a Chrono, but guessing they are coming out of my 20" barrel somewhere near/shy of 2600fps. My buddy was shooting 300WSM with 180gr or 185gr Nosler partitions and needed 3-shots (2 of which were great placement) to put the bull down and he still needed a finishing shot when we walked up to his. Now, I'm guessing either of our first shots would have been deadly on their own if given the time, but I'm still blown away by the toughness of those animals! [/QUOTE]
