Have been taking elk with various 6.5's since about 1991. . Used both the 120 & 130gr Barnes X & now TSX. Can't tell the difference. Have never been disappointed. They both give complete penetration thru bone & heavy muscle. You don't always get a soft sided rib cage shot. When an angled shot thru bone is required the Barnes TSX/TTSX excel. The mono's easily out penetrate the partition. My .338 mag which I used for years before is kept just for nostalgia. Haven't fired it in years & have never missed it..
