[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1766085, member: 109476"] I have been taking elk with the Barnes 6.5 120 X from it's early beginning. . About 1994. Now using the 6.5 TSX. 120 gr. Have taken several elk with it over the years & never had a failure to penetrate. Never yet recovered one. These mono's are very underrated. Years ago with my wife's 6.5-08 wildcat at that time ( AKA 260 Rem now ) with the Barnes 120gr X completely penetrated both front shoulders on a rag horn bull at 197 yds. At the shot the bull dropped in it's tracks. That was the beginning. These bullets have performed flawlessly ever since. A friend with a 308 takes his elk every year with the Barnes 130gr mono. I base my cements on years of in the field experience with my own elk & those I have observed taken by others. Also same results with the 270 & the Barnes 130gr TSX. [/QUOTE]
