[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 2182230, member: 109476"] Amazing. We have been taking elk every season , some times two a season since 1994 with a 6.5 of some kind. Never had a failure , or even close to a failure. One constant has been the use of a homogeneous copper bullet. Started with the Barnes 120gr X. Now use the 6.5 120gr TSX/TTSX. Deadly, even on oblique angled shots. Penetration thru thick muscle & dense bone has been amazing & far superior to C&C or Partitioned/bonded bullets. The Scandinavians have been using the 6.5x55 to take Moose since it's conception in 1893. Also used around the world on all types of heavy game. The 264 mag with a 120 to 130gr copper mono will put elk down with ease. As with "ANY" cartridge proper bullet placement is essential. The brands of copper mono bullets has exploded & the diverse selection offers a bullet that will work in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
