    All four bullets are very accurate in my 6.5,120gr, 123gr and 140gr Amax's and 120gr Nosler BT.
    Never shot anything bigger than a wallaby with the 120 and 123gr amax
    Shot a decent sized tahr at 400 plus yards with the 140, that was a good kill
    I also found the 120gr Nosler very accurate in both 6.5's I have.
    Once again never shot anything bigger than a wallaby with the 120gr NBT.
    Found the 120-123 amax gave better terminal performance on the smaller game than the 120bt
    often the 120Bt would sail right though which suggests it would be better on bigger game.
    The smaller Amax's rarely did that.
    R93 and 257weatherby like this.
    Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
