[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 1026472, member: 10582"] The 160 out of my 6.5-06 imp shoots great at just over 2900fps. It was really not picky at all. The first barrel break in group I shot from my new rifle was thumb nail sized! I tried H4831 which was very consistent and very accurate, but did not give me the velocity I wanted. H1000 shot good at 100 yards but had a lot of velocity variation thru the range of powder weight that I tried. Retumbo shot great,was consistent and gave me the velocity I was after. Because of really warm weather, and no snow until the last week of the season, my hunting season was ended by close range shots to fill tags. My long range bullet performance test media will have to be Yellowstone's greater coyote. A white tailed doe deer "DRT" at 480, the smallest bull elk that I have killed since 1996 died at 350 DRT. A mule deer at 75 yards that I rode into on my horse, first shot hit a tree as the deer quartered away( tree was already dead but is still standing) and the killing shot made fast work and destroyed the off side shoulder!
