[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1541445, member: 101755"] I know the Berger 130gr OTM is not a good choice in 6.5...I know it's a "self defense" bullet but thought it would do fine in a 6.5 CM. I'm running them pretty fast at 2900 fps but it the will not make it all the way through a small WT deer. My wife shot a hog and the deer. No blood trail on either lost both...buzzards found both. I was able to recover the bullet on the deer so I know exactly where it was hit...Perfect as usual, she puts it where it's supposed to every time! Amy way the bullet stopped before it reached the muscle of the off shoulder.[ATTACH=full]116276[/ATTACH] The backward "C" is where the bullet stopped. I had moved the shoulder forward to find it. 300wm 165gr Berger 323yds shot 300lb Aoudad...pass through .30 hole in and out...20yds tops, but not a drop of blood any where. None from the nose, mouth or either hole (that goes for all three animals). Didn't open it up to see what the inside looked like, so can't say anything except glad it fell quickly. No way it could have tracked. All shot were crease tight against the back of the shoulder (in and out...or where it should have came out). With not be using the OTM in CM on anything with a heart beat (deer and hogs)... I will still use their hunting bullets...use the 135 Hunter in my 264wm [/QUOTE]
