[QUOTE="270winshort, post: 588447, member: 6471"] I would say that you would be better off with the 6.5. I shoot the berger 130s at 2910 fps and the 123s at 3010 fps, also you will get better barrel life, the 6 is a great round also but the barrel lifeis not as good, you will need a 7 twist to shoot the 115 bergers,no problem shooting a deer out to 600 yrds but you could stretch the 6,5 with 130 bergers out to 900 yrds easy the 123s are hard on coyotes out to 850 for sure, I have a buddy that shot a 6x7 bull elk at 720 yrds with the 123s and another buddy that shot a cow at 850 yrds with the 130 bergers . both were 1 shot kills. Good luck [/QUOTE]
