[QUOTE="orch, post: 640563, member: 35688"] 115gr vld in my 25-06ai 525 yard white-tail buck trotting across an open field, hit right behind the front shoulder destroyed the lungs and took out 3 ribs on exit... he took three more strides and piled up and was DRT. very impressed with how the bullet performed... i'd be comfortable with it out to 800 on deer sized game... in a standard 25-06 might bring that number down to 700 on big deer... as far as wind drift it bucks the wind better than my buddy's 300 win mag shooting 165gr sst's @ 3100 fps (i'm launching the 115 bergers @ 3340 fps) by about 20 inches at 1000 yards for a 10mph wind... i'd say go for it... if you are not happy, like Tannergun, i'd recommend going to the AI.... be cheaper to just ream the barrel you already have than re-barreling to a 6.5.... besides you already have a 6.5! quit being so greedy how many 6.5 caliber guns do you need! :D orch [/QUOTE]
