I haven't shot an elk with my 6.5 Creeds, 6.5 PRC's or 6.5x284. I have with 7mm Rem Mag and 300 RUM. All with Barnes TTSX and TTSX. I shoulder shoot elk. Barnes are bone crushers. The go right down. I would like to try Hammer 6.5 124's and 181's in 30 cal. Have loads for both but have only shot one buck with 124. That because I had to use copper. I put a new barrel on 300 RUM and tried a load with Berger 215 and was so happy I quit. I have a great load for Berger 156 in 6.5 PRC and have killed a Muley buck and 2 WT does with it this year. Lights out DRT. I have also used 143 ELDX in 6.5 creedmoor on 3 doe lope and 4 doe lope. Out to 442 yds. All DRT. Same bullet in 6.5 PRC. Two Muley bucks. 4 doe WT. and 3 doe lope. All DRT. one WT buck and one doe lope with Berger 140 HVLD IN 6.5x284 both DRT. All bullets kill well when you place them where they should be and know the Berger on bone means hamburger and Barnes on bone means more steaks. I'm sure with Hammers also.
