Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 6.5 mm's for hunting?

My 6.5-284 likes 140's and for hunting hogs, whitetails and pronghorns, I use 140 SST's ahead of Vv N165 at 2,950 fps. This pre-64 M-70 wears a 26" Krieger and a Swaro Z5 with Outdoorsmans turret, effective out to 600 yds. The 140 SST is a great bullet with plenty of expansion without blowing up and good B.C.'s for extended range. IMHO, I think this is a near ideal combo for such an application.
