[QUOTE="MkJose, post: 1627069, member: 107218"] Folks have got great results with both cals here , but for ELR spotting misses in the dirt is always easier with a heavier bullet . You are going to see more splash in the dirt with say a 180 Berger vs a 140 Berger 6.5 bullet . Scaling up a little , I regularly shoot 300 NM and 338 LM at ELR distance . Spotting the misses in grass with the 230 Berger is very difficult , we can almost always see the misses from the 300 Berger : bigger bullet = more energy more signature . Barrel life and running costs will most likely be longer and cheaper with 6.5 depending on how hot you load . Guys running 7 SAUMs around here are pulling match barrels at 1500 ish rounds . Haven’t run a 6.5 SAUM , but a friend is and has over 3000 on his latest barrel . [/QUOTE]
