[QUOTE="James Murphy, post: 2800589, member: 113340"] My go to bear cartridge here in wyoming is the 338-06. I shoot 210 tsx at around 2750 fps and it's good on the biggest black bears from any angle. Countless clients have used it to harvest bears with me. But I'm sure you were asking about 6.5 caliber bullets so here goes. In the 6.5 Grendel my daughter shoots 125 partitions, I've loaded 125 partitions and 120 ttsx in the creed and the 260 rem. I've also played with the 6.5x55 and 140 tsx, but my all time favorite 6.5 is the 6.5x284 with a 140 vld hunting bullet and a full house load of RL22! My oldest son would disagree with me and loves his custom 264 win and a 142 long range accubond...... there really is no wrong answer, just preference I guess. So many people are extremely passionate about their opinions on bullets and rifles, I believe everyone should use what works for them...... hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
