[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 519563, member: 4809"] The first thing to focus on is accuracy. Bullet performance has very little impact (pun intended) if the bullet does not hit where you were aiming. So the first order of business is to find out which bullets are the most accurate in your rifle. Does your barrel have a fast enough twist to stabilize the 140 grainers? My 6.5-06 AI has a 1-in-8 twist barrel to stabilze the heavier 140 grain bullets. However, in shooting different loads and bullets, I found that my particular barrel liked the 130 gr. Nosler A/B much better. So find out which bullet weight works best. Then move on to those bullets within that weight class that seem to have the best compromise between higher BC and terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
