[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2642618, member: 87243"] This. If we were on Len Backus' short range hunting forum, then 3700 fps impacts could possibly be very useful. However, if I intend to shoot game at sub 100 yards, I likely won't use a 300 rum, more likely something along the lines of a .308 win or similar. But, you never know when game may pop up, testing the extremes is still good for overall knowledge and appreciated, though possibly limited in practicality. The 153 afterburner would be more appropriate for a 300 rum, though it requires the 30 cal standard of 10 twist, so the 135 is an understandable decision if a 10 twist 300 rum or similar rifle is not available. As stated, I am personally eager to see on game performance in the lower velocity ranges, for instance a 153 from a 30-06 on an animal at distance would be very interesting. I may likely have my son test a 6.5 variant in a smaller cartridge, on pronghorn/deer out to range, and see how it does. I like how mono's in general punch above their weight range and make smaller cartridges a little more effective. [/QUOTE]
