[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2000995, member: 29323"] I started using Barnes bullets because my butcher put the bullets she found in a plate on the counter. Every Barnes looked exactly like the advertisements. That said, I believe some are a little light for elk. I've found that for a good exit wound, you want a Sectional Density of around .280. Shooting through a deer's gut is a little like shooting through an elk. The 127 gr.LRX in 6.5 has an SD of .260. Not terrible, but not optimal. Barnes claims their bullets expand down to 1600 fps. After reading about the Hammer bullets, I'd be inclined to try them. I'd go as heavy as your rifle twist will stabilize. [/QUOTE]
