I just picked up a 6.5 Creed Tika TX3 Superlite for the grandkids to use on our Alaskan big game animals. I won't be loading my own ammo for hunting this year so I picked up a few boxes of Barnes Vor-TX 127 grain LRX bullets for the upcoming moose and caribou hunt. Bears for now would be ok if we find one while hunting.
I would like opinions on a good elk bullet as I feel that would cover our critters up here. My Dad favored the 140 grain Partition out of his old Mod. 70 in .264 Win. Mag. and I have used many Partitions and Barnes X bullets in the 30--06 and .338 Winny. I know Hornady and several others make bullets for this cartridge. We won't be shooting past 300 yards and prefer under 200 for every thing, especially moose and bear.
We are lung shooters for the most part and have found a good in and out hole through the lungs results in a gut pile.
