I worked up a load with 130gr Sierra GameChanger in my 6.5 PRC.
MV is 3250fps.
I asked you guys if that was to fast for this bullet inside 200 yards. I was told to contact Sierra and ask them, "It's as simple as that"
I called them and was told " no problem" , that bullet will do fine.
I tested this round at 100 yards shooting into water jugs. I know water isn't the best, but it's all I had.
The bullet exploded at the first jug and never penetrated the second jug.
I sent Sierra an email asking again, as I wanted their reply in writing.
Here is their reply.

Steve, we do not see that velocity being an issue on deer sized game.

So much for contacting the manufacturer " it's as simple as that".
