[QUOTE="Murtfree, post: 2938866, member: 111090"] As far as the 6.5-300 and loads, I am shooting 140gr AB at 3490 with N570. I took a Dall’s Sheep back in September at 410 yards with two shots. The first shot never exited and blew apart. The second shot did nearly the same except there was a slice on the off side where a piece of jacket exited. Don’t get me wrong, it did the job since he didn’t travel more than 20 yards from the first shot but I’m searching for a less frangible bullet since I would like to use it on moose next year. I picked up some Berger 156 grain Elite Hunters to slow things down by increasing weight and sectional density but still not sure this is the ticket since its still a cup and core bullet. [/QUOTE]
