The way it blows through deer on shot angles that have stopped 180gr SP I'd hunt almost anything tbh..

+1. The Barnes bullets penetrate like almost nothing else. I have some 6.5mm 127gr LRX bullets I planned to use for a moose load, but never got the tag so they sit on the shelf in my reloading room. I figure they would be good for anything short of elk or grizzly.

Hope you get the chance some time Mark! Regardless of the rifle!

Theres a few other good testimonies of what the 100gr does on the board as well. Couple moose taken very cleanly 260 rem etc.

I haven't yet but like I said after seeing it go through enough spine etc and not get caught, no worries here. Shots that went through ribs left nice holes too. They're hard to top.

If a guy said thats too light for him thrn the 127 is superb but plenty of testimony on the 120gr ttsx too. I find the others open a bit easier tho but could be wrong
 
I had a Tikka T3X in 6.5x55 which was giving me a hard time to find an accurate load until I tried the 143gr ELD-X.
