[QUOTE="CINOSBUS, post: 218779, member: 10860"] I've been looking around and see a few that MIGHT work for whitetails. Berger VLDs, Accubonds, Hornady SSTs, Sierra SMKs and Lapua Scenars. I'd like to be in the 140gr range for a good BC. Anybody tried these on game and have good luck with a 6.5x55 or other 6.5 working at a similar velocity? I'm getting about 2800fps with the 140gr bullets I've shot in the past (140 partitions) according to my Chronograph. I'd like to have a bullet that would still work OK if I had a close shot. I would not have an opportunity (or plant to) to shoot past 600yd at game with this setup. [/QUOTE]
