Looking at the latest crop of 6.5mm long range hunting bullets . . . what holds up to high speed impacts?

[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1991244, member: 61747"] So based on your numbers you are shooting them at point blank range, so less than 200. I shot wolf this spring at 38 yards with a 135 and it was pass through and small exit. 1.5" roughly. 143's do very well for my neighbor who has killed a pile of elk with them. I've shot a ton of wolves with the 147 from 25 yards to 980. IMHO if you are overly concerned about high velocity issues and bullet fragmentation back off your loads. We all love those high numbers on the chrono but is it needed for close in shots? I don't think so but that just my experience. [/QUOTE]
