[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1877435, member: 103317"] I was in South Africa two years ago with my 6.5 x 284 using 140 grain Berger's elite hunters. Took a beautiful Kudu at 408 yards, an Impala at 256 yards, a Nyala at 210 yards and a huge Warthog at about 100 yards all with this bullet. Three of the floor hit the dirt upon report of the rifle, the Kudu went maybe 20 yards before piling up. I would not hesitate to use this rifle and bullet combination again. I am shooting the 156 grain Berger's at 3050 fps in my 6.5 PRC right now and I would gladly take it to Africa for another plains game hunt. My hunting partner was using a 26 Nosler and he was shooting the 130 grain Berger's. He took six animals all DRT including two Kudu bulls. Make a good shot, the Berger's will do there part. Just my opinion from my experiences. [/QUOTE]
