This is a question for 6.5 prc cartridge or close to it in 6.5. Right now im loading 156gr bergers eol for mine. In my state its hard to get drawn for hunts so ive had time to play with them and work up a good load. Have been on 1 muel deer hunt with no luck. Last year daughter had an any elk tag but passed on 3 cows waiting for a bull but struck out. I am now thinking for deer and close shots on elk ( nothing passed 400 yards) would a 140gr berger work just as good as the 156? I am not interested in all copper bullets or partitions at this time. I am open to another bullet if guys have good experience with them. What is your guys experience or what would you recommend if something else? I am not into long range shots on game so id prefer 300 yards or closer.
