Leo Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser The 6.5mm 140gr bullets will be a lot more resistant to wind than 120grnrs will be for long shots. Speed and flat shooting mean nothing if you miss left or right, it's still a miss. Trajectory is repeatable and range is measureable. Wind isn't so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser Actually, the wind deflection difference between a 120 and a 140 is only 2" at 600 yards. The elevation difference is only 1.5" between the 120 and 140. I split the difference and shoot the 129 gr Hornady. I would shoot whatever shoots best in the gun.
