Have you put one in meat yet?

 

[RHC]

Would absolutely love to. Thinking about it for elk this year.

 

[HARPERC]

Old school giant killers! Bullets like that are what made the 6.5's legends. Chronograph them yet?

 

[AZShooter]

Wow, you must have a very long throated chamber.

I have a box of woodleigh 160g protected point 6.5mm (80A) for big stuff they have a reasonable BC. Bet those hit hard.

Harpec, yes I have. Was getting an average of 2593 with the chrony 10 feet at an elevation of roughly 6500 ft.

The Woodleigh bullets are something else. Not the best bullet for long range shooting but they are a performer. Last season, I was loading for a guys sporterized 30-40 Krag. Using a 220 gr. Woodleigh RN, he dumped two elk going at a full bore speed in thick timber with that old iron sighted military rifle. Woodleighs are a proven performer.

I don't know why, but they remind me of my wife's lipstick.

Should shoot great though.
