I tried 120,130, and 140. 140 was the best in mine. If you push the 120 real fast it has the same wind bucking as a 140 but the energy is quite a bit less. I seen a doe killed at 590 yards with a 140 Amax/ELD Match Hornady bullet.
6.5 has a huge following in Europe with the Swedish countries. 155 grain out of the 6.5x55 for moose.

Thanks for the insight. I'm thinking of shooting coyotes and some deer. Maybe other game
as the need arises. Appreciate all the input.

Today is the last day of the first of three muzzleloader hunts. I had a new hunting partner this morning. My 10 year old girl wanted to come. Sure wish i could have got one with her. We had a nice little buck behind us pass through but i had very little for shooting lanes back ther so just watch him cruis through. He was on a mission lol.
Had a good time and made some memories. I will say she does talk ( whispering at least) a lot though lol.
Dont normally use a heater while hunting but i brought it along for her to keep a little warmer. Was -5 feel like -12°C. Coldest day we have had so far.

Story - I had 2 350's for sale at chainsaw repair group and my website for like 5mins. Well local seen it and wanted one. He had all of this for 400. I wanted 200 for each saw.
He said he would take 1 saw and 150 to boot. I said I have the cash but if you want both saws I will take 50 less on 2nd one and trade straight up.
We went ahead and did the trade. I think I did ok myself.
Anyone own one?
Savage Axis .308. Has mcarbo trigger springs in it, the trigger is quite nice now he says. https://www.mcarbo.com/savage-axis-trigger-spring-kit.aspx
It’s got a Vortex Crossfire 2 4-12x44 on it and added a picitanny base. 149 rounds go with it. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/crossfire-II-4-12x44-with-dead-hold-bdc-moa-reticle
Said maybe shot 150rd through it.
