[QUOTE="R McNair, post: 1257652, member: 99135"] Greetings all. Currently been loading sierra 140g SPBT and 100gr hp varmet in Norma brass. Primers, I'm not sure of now. . Rifle is a 6.5x55 Carl Gustav, synth stock, 3-9x40 scope I'm wanting a reasonable all round projectile for small and semi large game. By semi large I mean NZ Red deer, by small I mean goat, small deer breeds, Thar. I was thinking of the 120 grain Ballistic Tip and putting it at about the 2900fps. NZ Wapiti or Wapiti/red cross may be too big for the 6.5 but it comes down to placing your shot I guess. From various forums I have looked at they are saying 120gr using RL19-imr4350-h4350 go get about 3000fps This seems to be a fairly popular load arrangement for my rifle type, offering good groupings out to 200-300 yards, while good know down ability. What are your thoughts?? What would be the largest game you'd use the 120gr on? Regards Richard [/QUOTE]
