Black bear with Hornady 129 SST in 6.5 Calibers?

[Airedale56]

Hi forum members.

I did a search here on the bear hunting forum and found no results with the listed bullet.

Has anyone used the Hornady 129 SST .264" on Western black bears with good results? 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5-284, .260 Remington, 6.5x54MS, 6.5-'06…? Bueller?

I plan to use them in a 6.5 SAUM at 3125 fps.
Spot and stalk.

Any users of this bullet on bears on the forum?

Thanks.

(Before the Hammer fans jump in, I don't have any and have never laid eyes on one in a local store, thanks.)

I used the 129 interlock with my 260. Thru and thru went about 25 yards. Can't find picture right now but it did make B&C .

Found it. Screen shot.

Thanks for the reply.
Lung shot or high shoulder, maybe?
Did your bear drop or make a short dash?

Short dash 25 yards. Double lung.

Dead bear

It will work fine.
