[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 2045427, member: 38130"] I have two 6.5x47’s but have never tried that heavy of a bullet. I did try 147 eldx but didn’t like the velocity. I have a heavier gun for practice which shoots the 130 Berger hunting at 2950 FPS. My light carry/tree stand gun shoots the 124 Hammer Hunter at 2938 FPS. I’m in Canada but have hunted Texas. I’d recommend staying with a 130-140 gr in the x47. I used my 6.5x47’s in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Both bullets worked exceptionally. I did also run the 130 Accubond for a year which also performed good. Not what you wanted to hear but I think the 6.5x47 performs best with 123-130 gr projectiles. For your intended distances I’d look into the new 123 Absolute Hammer. [/QUOTE]
