[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2132840, member: 10291"] Having now shot antelope and deer using 140.HVLD and 156 Berger’s, I have found that the performance is quite similar, as is elevation and windage when driven at 3000(140gr) and 2950(156gr) out at 1000 yards. . There is a difference in energy with the 156 generating an additional 150 ft#’s energy at 1000yds, that difference, IMO, being academic on medium game at practical max ranges. My choice of which of these bullets to use on medium sized game is not based on simply the weight difference of the bullet, but more dependent on the accuracy/ES/powder choice for the paricular 6.5 rifle I’m loading for. Of my three 6.5x284’s one runs the 156, two, the 140. [/QUOTE]
