[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2689279, member: 115658"] The H 6.5 120 ELD is my favorite 6.5 rodent bullet. I get almost 3200 fps from a 26", 8 twist, 6.5-06 using a variety of easy to obtain powders. The 120 does not shoot as flat as the 140 or heavier 6.5 ELD bullets at 1000 but at ranges up to 700 it is more effective than heavier bullets. Many exciting hits on distant rock chucks on breezy days. Very close to 123 ELD performance at less cost. Presently, I'm using 52.5 gr, R-S Hunter. Exciting expansion & other effects. Sectional Density (SD) has some effect(s) like penetration. The 140 is a long pointy bullet. The 120 is shorter, less SD but can be driven faster - flies real good but the 140 will pass it of ranges at 600-700. Bullets probably have equal jacket thickness. More velocity of 120 would result in more expansion. Controlled expansion not important for shooting rodents. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (536).png"]419508[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
