That's fine, good info nonetheless. The banana peels were located on the far side though correct?

That I can confirm with confidence. They were taken from the far side of the Muley.

Thats interesting. I know GS custom reccomend shooting their bullet fast enough that they blow the petals off to create wider wounding. If it exits and the animals is killed quickly, you cant ask for any better performance. Good luck on your antelope hunt.

Well gents, I finally have some more info to share. **WARNING-GRAPHIC**

Test Medium: Iddy Biddy Antelope Buck (hey it was my last day )
Animal facing left to right quartering slightly away, 'lope traveled 2ft after shot- Straight down.

Launch Platform: Custom 6.5WSM
Bullet: 130 G05 CEB 6.5mm
Muzzle Velocity: 3380FPS
Distance: 370 yards


As discussed, requested & promised I center punched the front shoulder to better determine the terminal performance characteristics of this somewhat untested bullet.

Results were as good as or better than expected. Both front shoulder's broken, dead speed goat -win/win. As you can see below, the bullet exited with a good sized exit hole to show both expansion & retention of enough weight to carry thru both shoulder's.


Please excuse my photographic lack of skill, trying to hold a camera & the animal with blood covered hands makes for a slippery experience.

Terminal performance here looks great, i'm pleased so far. Unfortunately, due to work schedules, I did not skin the animal to pull any fragments out (if applicable).

Hope this helps guys,

Seems like they are similar to the 130 gr Sirrocco. Execpt they are unleaded. Which would make them great in the areas where lead bullets can't be used. Nice high? BC that's for sure. How are they for velocity, are they sticky or slippery in the barrel? ?
