[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 545201, member: 30671"] I don't know if it's the right track-but I'm on a similar track. I was going to refresh my memory, but for some reason my computer won't load my ballistic program right now. Anyway, I'm building a 6.5-284 as strictly a coyote/wolf rifle I'll either use the 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip, or the 123 Hornady A-Max, although I still have some concerns about the A-Max's terminal performance. When I ran the numbers to 600 yards these two looked pretty good. The Scirrocco looked good on paper, but it's long, and I'm in a short action. If you're thinking longer ranges, and bigger game the 130's may come into their own. You certainly have the twist to run pretty much any 6.5 bullet out there. A question for liltank: Have you got first hand experience with the 123 A-Max? I'm looking for the "ultimate splat factor" in mine. [/QUOTE]
