Hey "buckmaster243" hows things in Cow town? Great weather we've been having in Alberta eh!
I just looked in a winchester ammo guide and this is what they list;
Velocity 200yds.---- Energy 200yds.
.243(100 gr.) 2562------- 1458

6.5 X 55(140) 2176------ 1473

Factory ammo for the 6.5 is usually loaded quit "cool" because of all the military surplus guns around it could go into. I think one could load it somewhat hotter if one thought there was a need. I would not call it a pop gun though.
