Push em too fast and they are explosive crap wasting meat. I'm not happy about explosive crap wasting meat. About to have a youth test some 6mm 80 gn BTs at around 2500 fps and bet it works good. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

JohnBurns - you are right, I was running those 140's at 3410 fps in my 6.5 Weatherby. Switched that load to partitions but haven't shot a live critter to see how they hold together. Looking at Stoney's post, it looks like the Bergers are money at lower velocity. Glad to hear it because they sure shoot great.
