[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1126802, member: 9551"] I have two 6.5 WSM rifles. One a bolt and one a falling block. I think the 140 gr bullets are over rated for hunting. Inside 550 yards (the back wall of my club range), the 130s will shoot flatter, requiring less holdover because we can shoot them so fast. At 1000 yards the 140s might shine, but at normal hunting ranges, I find that the 130s (Accubond, Scirocco and Bergers) are more than adequate. I will hunt tomorrow morning with 140 Bergers in my falling block, because I have a load set up for exactly 4 mils holdover at 400 yards, the reticle post for 550. The Model 70 is set up for 130 Accubonds. [/QUOTE]
