Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Best 6.5 bullet for elk???

I might find out how a 120 ballistic tip works on elk this year if I am lucky.

Ive shot a ton of DEER with the 120BT and they can make a mess if not centered properly, however, they all failed because I never recovered one!!! (bullet not deer)

160 Woodleighs

Good bullet with nice terminal performance. There is a thread on the Fire showing recovered bullets. Do a search.

I would suggest comparing the 160 Woody with the 155 Lapua Mega. IME, the Mega is a good bit more accurate than either then 160 or 140 Woody.
