Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 6.5-06/140gr vs 270W/140gr on deer out to 550yds.

BC .487 .277 140 grain Berger
BC .612 .264 140 grain Berger

Depending on the velocities you will not see huge differences, but my guess is the wind drift on the .264
You should have more velocity with the 270, but the higher BC of the 6.5 should have a sleight edge out to 550.

I don't use these cartridges, so i don't have a baseline on MV's

Regardless, the deer is not going to be able to tell the difference @ that distance-Dead is dead, if you put the bullet where it belongs.
I just popped a muley buck on Wednesday at 496 yards with a 6.5, using the 130 Berger=DRT! MV is 3095 fps.
