Larry is obviously a creative liar, otherwise he wouldn't have succeeded in fooling so many people over so many years.
In the words of jwgibson on 07/19/14:
"beware of deadbeat lying pompous ahole seller WYMTNRANGE on gunauctions.com
Larry Root 83 Antelope Trail Pinedale, WY 82941 307-367-7711
embellishes and misrepresents his wares. Piss poor photos and hyper inflated prices. Do not believe me then check out his sales for yourselves. http://www.gunauction.com/shop/gunshop/wymtnrange Read the descriptions and the remarks on some of his sale ads. unless you want to be rooked stay away from this unscrupulous seller."
I'm pretty sure that Larry will be by and criticize me for cutting and pasting, but ol' jwgibson wrote the Mona Lisa of reviews on Larry and there's no need trying to top perfection!
Apparently you haven't used the 160 Hornady much. I have, and while it will SOMETIMES penetrate well, sometimes it doesn't. Have seen it break both shoulders of a deer and exit, and not reach the far ribs on a broadside, behind-the-shoulder shot. Phil Shoemaker had similar experiences with them.
Apparently you're also running out of imagination for new Campfire aliases. 1000is? Really?
I sort of took him for full of shipt, as soon as I saw him compare an 85 (?) Pound prog horn to a 750 pound and up elk and moose

I had a 160 Hornady RN from a 6.5x55 stop inside a lengthwise shot on a Javelina. Regardless of the recovered diameter the projectile has a tremendous length that eats up a lot of energy while being plasticly deformed, even if the diameter is never excessive during expansion. This also part of the reason why many mono's penetrate deeper. Not only do bullets like the TTSX generaly have less frontal surface area, it takes less energy to bend it in position then to smash it.
Very well could be, and if so...he is a succesful man

Use the bullet the Swede was designed for and has killed countless Moose (known as Elk there). 160 gr cup and core softpoint. The best one made here is the Hornady 160 RN SP which expands 2 calibers and penetrates forever.
This speed goat was shot in the left front shoulder (broke it) went end to end and exited busting the right hip.
It also shoots 5 in 1" @100 in my Mauser built 96 Swede/Danish sniper in spite of the coarse reticle on the 6X Schmidt.
Did you shoot that in a ditch next to the road? I see a fence right behind you. Not sure why anyone would want a fence in the background unless taking a photo from the other direction would show a road.

What's up, you old queer? Did you think I forgot about your bitch-ass? You ready to start sweating when I show up on your front yard again?

A personal experience with the Nos BT. I had three shots on whitetail bucks. The 120 the Nos BT entered each behind the front shoulder and completely came apart inside. Dead deer after a short run. Very effective but no exit hole. I have since done some more shooting with them (120 Nos BT)and in the 6.5 at 3000fps muzzle velosity they come apart.

Rug -
I just finished development in my Swede with the 120 NBT @ 3000 fps. I'm curious how recently your experience with those NBT was. OR
Are those bullets of 'older' lot or 'newer' ? I ordered mine last year and had to wait 6 mo.s to get them. I've read that the older manufactured ones were of light construction AND the newer ones are tougher.
I have NO opinion because I have not used them on any game yet. I prefer bullets to hold together so I'm hoping they work better than your experience.
Would a Nosler 140 gr Ballistic tip be adequate, or would a 140 gr Accubond be obviously better in performance?
Many thanks
I'd work up the most consistently accurate load with the 140 gr Partition nearing 2800 fps and let fly with confidence in the elk woods.
I've never shot an elk with my Swede, but can't imagine why the above mentioned load wouldn't work, it has worked perfectly and with complete penetration on the few deer and one pig I've used it on.
A mild reporting/recoiling cartridge that can be shot accurately with ease!
The 6.5 120 Ballistic Tip has been a pretty tough bullet for at while now. The only one I've recovered acted like most of the under-.30 "hunting" BT's pulled from various animals in the past decade. It was shot into a pronghorn quartering toward me at around 200 yards, using a 6.5 Creedmoor. It entered the meat of the right shoulder, and was recovered from under the skin of the left hamm, retaining 59% of its weight.

As indicated there have been conflicting reports on the NBT performance. I appreciate your response on 'newer' NBTs.
I haven't tried any on game yet but I have a Plan B in my mind. I'm going to get some 120 Rem C Ls and test them for myself. I know that many/all bullets have undergone 'evolution' in the recent past.
All of my other CLs are vintage and they perform very well in the 270 W at 3100 fps.
