Scott, good luck to you guys. Hope you find some good ones 2 weeks and counting for me and I'll be back in the 307 chasing antelopes!!! Be sure to order up some good weather for me!
First take with my new 6.5....................
Man, what a cartridge. I really really like it. Superbly accurate and recoil is minimal as has been said. My speed goat hunt lasted 16 minutes. Got to the unit boundary, got the rifle ready, drove 16 minutes, spotted a herd with a nice buck, got out, laid prone and made the 310 yard shot with the 6.5 saum and 140 berger. Was able to drive to the goat and load it in the back of the truck. I guess you have to take an easy one every once in awhile. ..........
I bought this rifle a couple of weeks ago from CPGfan and I am in love. She is a one holer and very easy to shoot. Now we are headed up to the high country of Idaho for backcountry mulies.

Very nice pronghorn! Looks like your about 30 miles north of Howe. Cool area.

Keep us posted on how the 6.5 SAUM does!Yup, that's about where I was at. Got a bull tag in that area for November.

Well, the first deer hunt is out of the way. My brother missed this guy at 810 yards with his creedmoor and after watching him bed down for a couple of hours, I went after him and jumped him out of his bed at about 100 yards. I ended up shooting him running at 208 yards with my newly acquired 6.5 saum. Can't say enough good about this cartridge and the 140 berger. Now that the meat buck is out of the way, rest of the season will be for elk and muy grande. Thanks to CPGfan and all of you for the info on the 6.5.

I'm sure I know the answer, but what scope did George use for that shot? Are the majority of you runnin the Bushy LRHS?
View attachment 52715Finished up the 2014 Antelope extravaganza with this whopper antelope, Pat spotted him from 1980 yards, we made a 1600 yard stalk and took him from 383 yards. The buck scores around 80 inches and has 15 1/8" beams. My best antelope ever. Huge thanks to my great hunting buddy Pat for making it happen!! On a side note, I am super impressed at the performance of the JLK's on game, even extremely long distance shots made full penetration and left deadly exit wounds. The 6.5 SAUM 4S impresses me more and more every time I use it!

Nice!
Just ordered some of the new 135 gr JLKs... If anyone else gets some please post your results. Never shot any JLKs and am curious what seating depth they usually like.
Got some coming test hope to have them this week. You will like the 140 JLK''s, I shoot them jumped .030". I personally think the new 135's are going to be the bullet of choice for the .081" FB SAUM
OK you guys need to clue me in on the new 135 jlk. I need info. Nothing on swamp works site. Just bought 500 of the 130s.

Not many have them yet. A few hundred were sent out for testing.
George Gardner had this to say:
After Initial Testing on the 135 JLK I can tell you this weight class is spot on for the 6.5 4S . Pointed G1 is .645-.650 G7 .330
62-62.5 of H1000 is the sweet spot and nets 3150 without any noticeable pressure.
At 500 ft DA it's 5.9 to 1000 yards.
I'm shooting the rest that I have at the Bushnell Brawl this weekend.
More to come
