[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 2338764, member: 114427"] Current load is a 123g Hornady SST 60 Grains of RL25 (3078FPS average - 10ES, 4.9SD's). Working on a few other loads. This cartridge can easily push a 147g or 153g 6.5 bullet. the issue will be the stability factor. If i use these long bullets I prefer a faster twister rate. The SST load above shoots extremely well out to 1000y in mild winds. 500y is an absolute chip shot. so if you are hunting at 300y and under "it will keeeel" lol I am definitely loving this cartridge hope it goes mainstream since 6.5 is so popular these days. loading it mildly with 123-140g pills at 3000-3100 fps produces a very mild recoil. puts 6.5cm and 6.5prc to shame easily.
