Bought a bulk box of 1000 at some silly cheap (unfair) price, not worth reloading for now. Loves them.

Interesting looking at all the gelatin test photos of their 6.5G hunting ammo, esp the Barnes corkscrew effect with the petals.

I think bullet speed influences the way bullets work in most calibers. Take for instance the other end of the spectrum the old African dangerous game rounds, the ideal was a heavy (400 gr- 500 gr ) bullet at about 2400- 2450 fps. At that speed the bullets penetrated well and didn't deform.

What powder do you use for that load Mooseman? Is that ELD-x projectiles?
