[QUOTE="MallardAddict, post: 1408990, member: 3830"] i know bullet selection is often preference so I am looking for everyone’s preferred 6.5 bullet. I have a 6.5 WSM enroute and plan to run 140gr bullets at 3200 fps. Main use will be deer and elk to 800 yds and steel to a mile. Due to my uses I am leaning to a high BC projectile but know next to nothing about the 6.5 offerings. Lots of guys like the eld series bullets and I have had good accuracy and good terminal effects with the .284 180 eld-m and the 212 eld-x over 500yds but haven’t shot any game with them under 200. My concern is how they will hold up based on muzzle velocity at 50-200 yds should I be presented with that shot. I hear good things about the Berger vld’s But again it’s always long range stuff and not short to medium ranges where my concern lies. Any insight or on game performance from 50-800 yds is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
