I've had no issue with them. I've also had no issue with a 140 6.5 @ 2800+. This might be a marginally acceptable round to Boxer.

In any case, numbers matter as they indicate what a bullet is likely to do at distance. I also understand what long, heavy, high BC means at distance. However, it does not indicate the ability of the average shooter to put the "boolit" in the correct place at the distance the numbers show favoritism.

Destroy the landing gear of a critter at 300 yards with a 130 grain cup core 270 win and he dies right there.

Who is it that said something like "placement, boolit, headstamp" in that order? I get that.
