[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1155815, member: 70559"] Since I have a couple boxes on order, today I called Hornady to check what is the [B]maximum[/B] impact velocity for the 6.5 143 grainers. I have something like a .300 RUM necked to 6.5mm and something like a .264 Win Mag on steroids. He told me it would shed the vast majority of its weight with an impact velocity of 3,000 feet per second [B]on[/B] impact[B]![/B] I put some info into JBM with an arbitrary muzzle velocity and what range would I need to get to his recommended velocity of 2,500 feet per second for [B]maximum[/B] impact. Muzzle: 3308 525 yards: 2523 Based on these numbers it looks like I will be ordering some Barnes 127LRX bullets. [/QUOTE]
