[QUOTE="80Rooster, post: 840044, member: 53008"] IMO 2950 fps out of a 140 in a 6.5 is about all you will get you can push it faster but your just burning powder at that point .... That said I shoot a 6.5-284 on a rem 700 with a 26" brux barrel I shoot 54 gr of retumbo fed 215M 140 Berger seated .020" on the land. 5 shot average (100 yds) of 2960 fps and 1/2" moa it shoots a 7" group at 1000. This is at 7000' elev. I have taken mule deer with this load at 800 yds. 1 shot 1 kill full pass thru. The berger opens up nice .25" in .5" out [/QUOTE]
