any experiences out there. i am shooting them fairly fast, 2960 fps ish. using for mule deer and elk. i have another gun loaded for 140 berger hybrids at 3100 fps. any thoughts on which would be better overall? thanks

No. I wish. I think it's the ****** hornady brass I'm using for that gun. It seems to show pressure a lot sooner than the norma that I am tried in my other saum. In fact it was only maybe .4 grains higher and I got signs of pressure so Not much I can do. It seems to shoot good though I just shot it this morning out to 1000 with no problems and I shot a 2" 3 shot group at 6:50 yards That's good for me though I'm not a professional PRS guy or anything
That's really strange. I used hornady 6.5 creed brass and when I switched to better brass like adg and peterson I lost 100 fps due to pressure signs.No. I wish.

.3s is all I'm able to consistently hold at 100(I get target panic I think) and over had no issues reaching out to 1350 yards..3 moa is good enough for alot of people. Probably almost every hunting gun.
i'm not sure either. it is 6.5 saum brass, not creedmoor so maybe its a different animal. i get x2, maybe x3 firings out of it and the primer pocket is loose. sad. plus it doesn't seem to handle the pressure very well. but there is better brass coming out soon so that's good
