[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 3895756, member: 40794"] I've killed one doe @250 with my 6.5 using 140 grain Berger VLD Target running just shy of 2700 FPS from a 22" barrel. She went about 2 feet due to her "hop" and it ripped the soul right out of her. Exit would was pretty gnarly too. I'd have no problem taking a Whitetail using this load all day long. If I were going to use this rifle on say a Bear or Elk, I'd definitely use a traditional hunting bullet, probably 147 grains or heavier. The internal construction of a hunting bullet v's a target bullet is designed for the thicker skin and bone construction. [/QUOTE]
