IMO, we gotta match bullet design parameters with usage and speed for optimal terminal performance. There's about as much art as science in making an optimal match up. Loads that work great for target shooters may not be Kosher on game. I'm a hunter/shooter, not a target guy. But, I appreciate the work done by the target crowd on ballistics, etc. That info helps us all.

DF,
That's why I like the idea of a Nosler Accubond(not LRAB!) for the faster 6.5s. Yes, they don't have quite the BC that some of the newer 6.5 projectiles, but they should hold up on big game animals after being started at 3200 plus?
