[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 893393, member: 61747"] Can we put this to rest guys. This whole thing started as misunderstanding of who the post was intended to go and we have gone off track. I think you both have good things to add and experience all can benefit from. Let's take a step back and not read so much into the posts. I used to share my passion for off road motorcycle racing on some dirt bike forums. I raced on the USA ISDE team a couple of times and raced expert class and generally did just fine. Had some top 10 finishes at the national level blah blah blah. I was constantly dawged by folks on these forums. I didn't post a lot and didn't talk about my accomplishments but by god as soon as I gave an opinion some nut hump would bag on me. I quit those forums as I would get all sorts of anxiety about folks not understanding each other. On another note. What is the benefit of shooting the 130 vs the 140 no matter the brand of bullet? I have not shot a 130 from 6.5-284. I assumed for me, shooting really long range on wolf sized targets I needed the highest BC possible to retain that energy. Dogs don't need the energy than heavier fleshed and boned animal do. Curious about the difference 10 grains makes. [/QUOTE]
