[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 638509, member: 43153"] Well, I was actually referring to the 7mm version, of the same weight. Some say that it has an extra-thick jacket. I don't know if the 6.5mm version shares that trait, or not. I do agree that into the shoulder blades are NOT where you want to be with the shot though. The one that I hit there is the one that took 5 or so seconds before it finally crumpled to the ground. I'd estimate that it traveled maybe 25 yards during that time. There was no exit hole, and the meat on BOTH shoulders was really shredded up. I remember the guy that I had precess it was really bitching about it. He advised me that I needed to be taking neck shots. EDIT: I do know that, as far as the ballistic tip series goes, nosler differentiates between what they consider the "varmint" and the "game" calibers, with the game calibers sporting thick jackets, while the varmint caliber jackets are thin. I think that 6.5 would be considered a game caliber, but I'm not sure what THEIR call is on it. [/QUOTE]
