The 140s are going at just about the same velocity thus are just a little flatter as range gets longer.

The 140s shoot better also. All of my groups in the 1s are with the 140s. The 130s hang around the 4s & 5s and with group size growing out to 500 to 3 and 4" cause I can't read the Dam* WIND!. That is my groups increase in horizonal spread as distance increases. Darn I hate that!

I shoot the 130s as they are a bit more apt to come apart thus not slinging lead all over the place. Plus the recoil is just a bit lighter with the 130s.

The 140s hold together real well and are good up to deer. The biggest thing I intend to shoot with the 130s are canine type animals and maybe a deer if the shot presents itself. Other wise its the 140s for yote on up.

I'll take a pic one of these days and post it. As far as looks go the SS "looks" better than the Cabela's 6.5X20. Plus the ss has the knobs that are exposed and the mirage shade which is a real plus.
