[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1414595, member: 10291"] I will likely give them a try but I don’t have a high degree of enthusiasm. From the initial reports, the velocities attained using the heavy bullet with the 6.5x284(2900FPS) I’m not sure how much benefit they will bring for my typical hunting range(max 1100 yards). So far the ballistic models I have played with using initial data available on velocity/BC are very close to the 140’s at 3000FPS. I will be interested in their terminal performance on game at 100-1000 yards. The 140 VLD’s give superb terminal performance on game over this wide distance range at 6.5x284 velocities. I think the heavies may be better suited for larger cases then the 6.5x284, and ELR applications. Just my initial impressions......I may be wrong. [/QUOTE]
