[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 1020967, member: 10582"] I just started playing with a new 6.5-06 improved this fall. I decided to try the 160 matrix bullet and my rifle loved them! I settled on a load with 2930 MV from a 27 inch 3 grove Lilja. On deer they are okay but as an elk bullet they are just too explosive at 350 yards. At. 200 yards they blow up in a fox like a varmit bullet. They shoot absolutely fantastic! At 480 yards they blow a 1 1/2 inch hole out of a doe deer shoulder hit in the arm pit. I found jacket and core on the off side leg of a mule deer buck hit in the arm pit at 75 yards. Bull elk was hit in the chest just clipping the tricep and the bullet did not make it to the other side of the chest. Unfortunately my hopes of some long range hunting was not a reality this year. The matrix 160 would make a fantastic long range antelope and deer projectile. [/QUOTE]
