[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1717670, member: 38048"] I don't know where you get such a small bullet from. 140 to 156 is in the same ballpark as a 7mm. 6.5s have very high sectional density also. My small 6.5 creed has 1200 ft pounds out to 780 yards. My 6.5 Saum has 1200 foot pounds past 1000 yards. So a deep penetrating 1200 foot pound round I don't see as small. I shoot 1000 yard competition and seeing bullet placement in a controlled situation on rock steady rest with wind flags I personally would never shoot at game that far myself. But I certainly don't care if others do. I also think the 6.5 has what it takes to get the job done. Shep [/QUOTE]
