I have my x55 running at 2754 fps my brother in laws 260 is running at 2772 fps both with the same bullet, my x55 shot this enlarged one holer at 100yards.

The 6.5 bullet especially the high BC ELDX retains it energy well from memory a 1000 ft pounds out to 800 odd yards, more than enough for most of us.

I have shot deer and goats out past 800 in perfect conditions with validated loads and the kestrel for full information.
Same old story when you hit them in the right spot they die.
If you dont they die slowly.
My eldx are running at 2720 and group better than I can.
