[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 969997, member: 56732"] At this point I'm using my remaining Barnes Banded Solids 110 gr. A friend used some in his 65 Swede. Shot a good size cow bou at around 150 yards. Quartering away shot. Put a 6.5 cal hole thru her heart. She walked another couple steps and fell over dead. . He ate the heart and just trimmed 1/4" around the bullet hole. No blood shock, course no recovered bullet. . If he had used a Berger Hunting, what a mess that would have made. One of the Game Wardens here cites guys for wanton waste if they blow the he double toothpick out of the meat. . I'm trying to find the elusive 1 bullet for everything I'll use the rifle for. The TSX is a great bullet but lacks bc for long range. I'm working up the 144 Lapua fmjbt. It is accurate in my Creed. But the bc of. 636 is a bit optimistic. The Berger 140 Hunting prints about an inch higher @ 320 meters than it does but group size is similar with the same load. 43.3 gr H4350 cci 200 both loaded to 2.863" oal. I wish the American's would have made 7.75" the standard twist for mid vel 6.5 and that Barnes made a 140 gr tsxbt. With a bc around. 6 . That would be a bullet I would build a rifle around. . Snowshoe hare-Alaska Yukon moose 10'-1,000 yards all with 1 load. Tho for Big game I myself would keep the range down. [/QUOTE]
