[QUOTE="aaronmcoleman, post: 2059890, member: 116655"] I have not used them in. 6.5 but I shot a bull and a cow elk this year with them in 30-06. Cow dropped instantly with a neck shot from about 200y, Bull I hit a bit high from 375y but follow up shot he was down for good. I like two shots two kills but 3 shots 2 kills is ok considering the bad shot was user error that no bullet would have helped with :) overall very accurate up to the 500y I’ve shot them (clover leaves at 100y and 3-4” groups at 500y). And that is all out of my old 20” barrel savage 111 with a $190 Nikon scope. accuracy is good, internal construction is not as heavy as an accubond. I’m no. Expert but the tipped GK seem to be much thinner copper and just feel “cheaper” if that makes sense. No recovered bullets so no real idea how expansion etc has been. All in all I’d hunt with them again. No questions asked. And for the price they are wonderful to practice wirh. [/QUOTE]
