6.5 CM Hunting Bullet

[Sask_Hunter]

Of the 2 listed I would can the cx and use the LRX. Hornady has the 130cx listed velocity range of 2400-3600 not much room when started at 2800. I have used the 127lrx on moose and it did the job but would likely use the 147ELD-M.

Lol about dgaf about hearing about other bullets. Not long ago on another forum a guy posted fbi gel test data from eldm 6mm the 6.5 147, then 168 308 at 308 velocity and 06 velocities and essentially MV testing of all and included finished weight, diameter, penetration depth etc. Here’s my interpretation of it. Also keep in mind the 147 eldm bc and the 5 advantages that compound to easily make it best choice at getting a free lunch every time you pull the trigger in terms and of not just hit probability but also maximum internal work for drt performance. See if you can see in data below. Keep in mind all eldm are excellent drt bullets but one of them has the highest sd to start by long shot yet finishes at similar penetration depth but lightest weight meaning it did more inside per unit of weight than the other studs. Do you see how it stands out even among top killers? Is drt and hit probability not your top goal? Also consider these basically MV impacts so what happens when distance increases? Less work available inside so do you want the one that does the most? Hmmm

No such thing... the 6.5 CM can only make dents in wet paper.
