    6.5 saum is very very good on paper, but those long heavy projectiles that produce the good numbers on paper seem to pencil / slow kill on game at range and defeat the purpose of an accurate long range rifle according to blokes I know who have tried one
    Yip mine was destructive but lacked that smash it over effect with the 156 Berger at 3080fps
