[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3187795, member: 15054"] I do not have a 6.5 yet but I have done a lot of research and my choice in bullet would be the 140 gr A-Max. I have shot many deer with the .308 with 155, 168, and 178 A max and the .223 with 55gr V-max and not even 1 deer has got away. Many are bang flop. More so with the 55gr V-max.. Yea go figure. I researched that 140gr 6.5 and excellent reviews in deer killing with it. Yes a different brand of ammo with same weight bullet may put the rounds on paper in another area. Same load in my older .308 but just change the brass and the load shoots on paper much farther right. Same brass prep. This is winchester brass vs Federal for 3 shots each and federal shot 3 was even farther right..right off the paper. Just about 2.5" right with just a brass change at 226 yards. If you find a box of ammo that works then get that same lot number because if lot numbers change so will the groups many times. [ATTACH=full]129237[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
