[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 843667, member: 10832"] That's an interesting perspective. The heavy 6.5 bullets, especially the 160 round nose, which I believe to be the main hunting bullet used for big game in Europe back in the day, has a very good SD and compares favorably to other bigger caliber heavier bullets. I would think the penetration and terminal performance would be excellent even on moose as they aren't known for their extreme toughness anyway. Not saying your wrong but I am just a bit surprised based on the specs of heavy for caliber 6.5 bullets. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
