I think the big hogs are a good test medium that gives you some solid information . I wouldn't hesitate to use the 6.5 with a good monolithic bullet on Alaskan critters if I were you.


I've had great groups with Hornady Factory 143 ELD-X's and handloads as well. However, Horn. Factory 120gr. GMX's are ok at 100 but open up drastically to 5-6 inches at 200yds - this is with a 1-8 twist.
I assume for now the mono doesn't like the twist.

My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
