Hollow point question

The speers are all but impossible to find right now....hell 6.5s are almost impossible to find lol, sps had 121gr etips for about 30 seconds the other day.

Ive been keeping an eye out, as im down to one box of 140 bergers and maybe 50 147eldms.

Think I have 30-40 of them 147eldm if you need them. I'll keep a eye out for other 6.5s if you need them.

Nah might as well keep ahold of em.

Eventually really considering dropping to 123s since i can just stock one bullet for both the grendel (when ever i get another) and my Creedmoors. No idea when the .264s coming online so that can wait, but it will shoot heavier bullets also, so maybe not.

Right now ill buy what i can get just to feed the CMs,

I found a box of 129 grain NLRAB yesterday I had a friend of mine told me they like to run a ways after a lung or heart shot with these he was shooting 142 grain

Has anyone had any experience hunting with this round?

I havent used them yet, but those are on my want to try list, think they might be the perfect "do all" bullet for the 6.5CM

142s from a CM are on the lower end of what id expect to get "explosive" expansion from anything, and the bonded ablrs are probably punching very neat 1-2" exit wounds with similar wound paths.
Those 129s will be clocking 200ish fps faster resulting in much more rapid upset. Id expect them to do better on soft body hits.

For short range big game hunting you can’t do better than a 160 grain round nose. For wide open areas hunting I would recommend the 142 ELDX.

I normally shoot the 143 grain ELDX but they are almost impossible to find right now
