[QUOTE="atepointer, post: 2914360, member: 126734"] At the end of the day with Berger's suggested MV minimum for best VLD performance of 1800fps. Let's say for instance I lose 300fps which there is no way I will, but just for conversational purposes. That still gives me good performance out past 500. Going by what I've looked at on other 6.5 barrel chop hand loads I'll probably lose closer to 160-175fps so 100 yards looks more like 1,900 ft lbs at 2480fps. Double lung, pump house, scapular/spine....whatever...it's gonna put meat in my freezer b/c the longest shot I can muster in the trees I'll sit would be maybe 125 yards. [/QUOTE]
