Much better choices IMHO. 100 grain Nosler Partition gets the nod from me. Like others I have had less then stellar results from Mono bullets. The 6mm does punch above its weight just like the 6.5 bullet but that is a different topic.

100% agree with the ELDM or TMK for the 1-8 twist. In our Tikka which has a 1:10 twist I run the 95 ballistic tips and would not hesitate on any elk out to 450-500. That’s where my velocity runs out with that bullet. Do some research on who designed that bullet and why.
Also have used 147eldm out of a 6.5 for the last few years. The ELDM’s are great hunting bullets despite the marketing and BS the gun writers would have you believe.
I have killed a “few”elk in my life.
