[QUOTE="ladebenken, post: 2687784, member: 75835"] My longest shot at a red stag with 6,5mm is aprox 600 meters. That time i used 142gr ablr. The bullet stopped under the skin at the opposite side. v0 was 915 m/s with a 6,5x55 swede. I think i shot maybe 40-50 red deer/stag at over 400 meters with 6,5 swede, with bullets like 142 ablr, 143 eld-x, 140 eld-m, 147 eld-m. I now use 6,5-284, but with a shorter barrel i only get about 860-880 m/s with 140 class bullets. I now use Norma Bondstrike 143gr in this rifle. I have shot red stags out to about 500 meters with this rifle. Yearly i shoot about 30-40 big game with 6,5mm caliber, at shorter ranges i use interbond, or scirocco. My opinion about a 900meter/1000 yard shot at elk with 6,5mm is that you need a f... long barrel, and a huge case. You need all the speed you can get. [/QUOTE]
