[QUOTE="TysonLeal, post: 1239834, member: 89600"] Saw Greyfox's post and owed him a thank you for all his knowledge shared on 6.5x284. Bought the rifle in 2014, spent 2015 learning to reload, and getting to know her. 2016 First morning 200 yards, ear hole bang flop. 150lbs boar. 3 weeks later, mid morning caught the big boar sleeping in a field...woke up then went right back to sleep. 40yards 300ish with 4.5" teeth. Week later, last light this buck stepped out at 400, dialed up 2 MOA and sent the 120 TTSX on its way. braodside, right behind the shoulder and dropped like he was hit by lightening. 120TTSX used on all, all clean pass throughs, no bullet recovery and didn't have to chase. Also learned a bit about rifle limitations. Love my 6.5, but still not that glove feeling of my good ole model 70 and sneak hunts are better made with my 22" barreled 270. [/QUOTE]
