[QUOTE="6.5BR, post: 1700575, member: 9118"] Will - thanks, good to know. Many short action or even the Swede are not too far behind. Read an article years ago, fella had a '06 like you, but used the original 125 PT which had a lathe turned cannelure ring he used for seating depth. He took many deer, elk, etc with that rifle and the 125 PTs. No doubt the 140s at 2900 is a solid performer, no frills. Sometimes K.I.S.S. is a good way to go. Re: the 130 ABs above, dumped a deer around 275 yds using a K1A Ruger SS #1 in 6.5x55 years back with a 6x42 Leupold and German #4 reticle. MV was around 2700-2750. That bullet shot 1.1" for 3 at 200 yds....had similar and better results in other rifles, so 1/2 MOA is not unreasonable. A killer it is.... [/QUOTE]
