[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2793489, member: 115658"] I have 2, McGowen barreled 6.5-06, both 8 twist, 5R rifling. For deers & such I would use a good pointy 130-140 grain lead core bullet or the 6.5, 127 Barnes LR bullet. I shoot rodents with the 123 ELD. I consider form factors when making bullet selections. Now, I am using VN 165, can't get RL 23 that would be first choice. Form Factor Info: [ATTACH type="full"]454256[/ATTACH] The Berger 130 VLD hunting bullet looks real good on paper, higher velocity than 140's & same form factor. Volume shooting prairie dogs with a 6.5-06 is like swatting gnats with a hammer - but OK for slow timed shots at extended ranges. The 123 works out better than 100's or 95 VMax for ranges over 400.
