I have no doubts it will bring them down fairly easily. Now a big 6x6 is totally different, thats where the 300 RUM and 200g AB comes into play.

[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 102164, member: 1403"] Lerch Thanks for the reminder. I was hoping to see what kinda figures you would get. Those 125's sure are nice bullets. I want to try some of the 140g's for my .270. That'll have to wait though. Your BC is a little higher then what I found mine to be, but your also pushing them 200fps faster.
