I have used a few bullets in a couple different 6.5's and the 147 ELD has worked really well on deer. Lots of great options, but I tend to use that bullet lately since it is available is usually very accurate as well. At 6.5 CM speeds it works really well.
Very cool Fotis. I have a Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet I had rechambered to 22 K-Hornet. So far this thing rips. I’ve been using H110 and the 35 V-Maxs in mine. It’s such a fun little rifle.
The old man worked with them a bit in his Kimber, the problem is you need to seat them so short in order to get out of the chamber I think it kinda limits them a bit. A 700 is probably a better match, or maybe a 150 ABLR. I think he kinda settled on the 160 AB for the majority of his hunting...
