[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2452555, member: 101262"] Wow! That’s pretty crazy. I mean your only 50 fps behind my load. Sea level is making a lot of difference in max range capabilities with the little 6.5. Here’s my chart for my load/ elevation. It’s good that you noted that accuracy is king and a lot of times that will limit these smaller cartridges when it’s not paired with higher velocity. I was able to get to 2800 before I hit pressure with h4350 in a 24” barrel and also look for accuracy and decent es more then just high velocity. We did kill a mule deer two years ago at 926 yards with this rifle and bullet. The load was rl16 at 2780fps but still. It was REALLY pressing the limits. The bullet broke a rib on entry and excited also breaking a rib. 4 point decent bodied buck. Exit was the size of a quarter. Deer was knocked over from the impact actually. He got up a ran 50 yards or so. [/QUOTE]
