[QUOTE="DonBogaerts, post: 1910824, member: 101422"] In the netherlands and germany we got the same problem. I use the 120gmx in 6.5 and the LOS 140gr in 7x64.... the gmx needs speed but also enough resistance after impact. Otherwise it will pencil trough (eventhough lungs will be soup like) animals tent not to drop. On wildboar i’ve not seen this even without hitting any legbone or ribs. Therefore i shoot the 6.5 on the front leg with roedeer and head/neck and legshot with boar. For the LOS 140 (handloads) the nock down effect is better. Also on smaller deer. This is a bullit with open nose. I think this kills the BC but deff helps the shock effect. In my old mauser they still shoot small groups at 300 meter so with a rifle like yours i expect no issues at longer ranges. Unfortunatly not in 6.5 or .270 only .284 and .308 available. both bullets dont do much damage to meat even when hitting bone. They dont explode like leadbullets on bone. [/QUOTE]
