[QUOTE="treyboy7, post: 2834873, member: 124422"] Watched some ballistics gel testing on the 156 Berger and 130 scirocco out of a 6.5 creed and at close range the 156 only retained about half its weight. This is fine out of the creed, however I’m worried that if I shoot it out of the 6.5-300 at 500 fps faster it will disintegrate. The 130 scirocco maintained most of its weight and mushroomed perfectly. I guess at longer ranges the 156 would be the perfect amount of devastation. But out of the 6.5-300 I would say the 130 scirocco would do pretty good as well, considering it’s still going 2500 fps at 500 yards. For these reasons I was more leaning towards the 130 scirocco, if they group about the same. But if the Berger 156 groups better for people with this gun, how does it perform on deer at close range?
