[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 2062368, member: 111276"] Me, for what I'm doing, I find that 6.5CM 142gn Sierra HPBT MatchKing bullets just plain out preform all the way out to a thousand yards on paper. As far as dead up hole in hole hunting Rounds For S. Ga Game. Small Deer or Large wild hogs at a distance. The Sierra Pro Hunter 120gn Spitzer Soft Point. This is the most accurate Hole in Hole soft point hunting round that I have worked with. "Total devastation". The old Caldwell chrono showed this bullet moving at over 3200 fps and has hole in hole accuracy at 100yds. (Don't quote me on that Chrono's readings) Their all over the map. It's hard to tell when that chrono started giving bad readings.(A lot of Head Scratching.) After I bought the LabRadar, I have to conclude that, the last ten years of readings from that Caldwell Chrono are to be considered inconclusive.
