[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 992867, member: 8839"] 6.5x47 28" Bartlein .198" FB 140 Hybrid @ 2925 I used this combo as a cull rifle for WT Deer this summer. I shot over a dozen with ok results. The #1 criteria for my task is superior accuracy with adequate performance. I wish I could tell more about performance but often times they are taken just before dark and quickly boned, if they are field dressed I didn't inspect much. Expansion has been less than preferred, most broadside hits exit out to 600+ and usually dime to nickel size. I shoot over field so I can watch them until they drop. The harder hit ones on the shoulder produced better exits quarter size. Had one lung hit at 500 ish run about 100 yard another hit at 800 ran 40-60 yards and piled nicely. So without bullet recovery and based on my opinion / experience (for what its worth) my experience tells me they are on the hard side and inconsistent expansion depending on what you hit. The plus is they are dead nutz accurate in my rife. [/QUOTE]
