[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2742899, member: 14204"] Unless you give us actual velocities for the 6.5 PRC 156 Berger and 300 WM 180 AB, we have no way of knowing/validating the velocity and energy. "My" unwritten rule is ~1500 FT-LBS and minimum velocity for the bullet to expand effectively at POI. I know many people do not put much value on KE, and that's OK. Below is an old thread that might be beneficial for you. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/energy-or-bullet-diameter-most-important.176151/[/URL] As far as I know, Norma is the first to measure/present KE with gel tests; I know others will call it a marketing scheme but let the end users decide.
