[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1914813, member: 37460"] I hunt Coues in AZ and WT in MO. I have shot numerous with the 140 Berger VLD Hunting bullet from my 6.5-284, 6.5-47 Lapua and my 6.5 Creedmoor and have never had a issue. I would consider running the 140 VLD hunting or the 140 VLD Elite Hunter. Witnessed a 1 shot kill with the 140 elite hunter on a 350 bull at 500 plus yards from a 6.5-284 in N Az, using the H1000. I’m waiting for my 6.5 PRC, 1-7.5 twist, to arrive next week from Kampfeld Customs and will probably be running the 156 Berger. You could also test out the 156 and see how it goes, some have complained about the 156 not performing so well out of a 1-8 twist but I’ve got a friend that runs them with no issues at all. I run H4350 in my 6.5-47, H1000 in my 6.5-284, and RL-26 in my 6.5 Creed. I plan on starting with RL-26 and ADG brass in the PRC development since I have 20+ pounds and see how it goes. Good luck with whatever you choose but I would switch to a different bullet for hunting. Keep us informed on your results. Best! [/QUOTE]
