Following comments here as I'm looking to choose a bullet for my 6.5 for elk, mulies and whitetails. So far 140 Berger VLD, 139 Scenar, 147 ELD-M, and 127 LRX all shoot quite well. I've shot the most critters with Barnes (in a larger caliber) so I trust them. Not sure I want to try the other, though many seem to find them working quite well from what I can read.
