Good stuff. That seems pretty hot for a 140-class bullet. What powder are you using in that load?

This is an exceptional picture. The Whitetail, the pose, the camo paint on the gun, your camo, the framing, even the setting is great.

I tip my Texan hat to you, sir.

Cool. I’ve got a crazy accurate load with these in my 6.5 PRC and based on the many testimonials here I am willing to give up the wee bit of BC advantages of the Hornadys for a bullet that will hold together better and exit.

I’ve long been a fan of that theory. Exact reason I use them as much as I do....

RT- Great report and wonderful story!

Josh- Would I be wrong in thinking that the 139 Scenar/6.5 Creedmoor would do at 250yds what that 6.5 PRC/139 Scenar did at 400+, on cow elk I mean?
