Food for thought on the 6.5mm, most 6.5mm bullets are designed for 1800fps minimum impact speeds if you want proper expansion so starting out at 2,000 is a little on the light side you might want to consider 100-120gr at a little more speed but the BEST bullet for a low speed 6.5mm is the 123gr SST which is designed for 6.5 Grendel speeds and has an impressive .510BC perfect for a mild 6.5 at around 2400-2700fps.
