130 TMK vs 130 ELDM

I put my TMK data in this thread.

6.5mm Projectile for Moose

So I drew a cow tag in unit 02. I have all these listed projectiles on hand for 6.5 Creedmoor. What would you choose to send downrange for this "once in a lifetime" hunt? My current MER on a 10" circle is 500 yards but I'm going to be practicing up to 825 before October. Thanks in advance...

I ended up going to 147ELD for the job. I didn't consider 130 ELD because of the lower BC compared to the 147. From my experience with the 6.5 CM I found the 147gr eld to be anemic past 500 yards in my 18" barrel but correctly hypothesized that the 6.5 PRC would push it properly.

I shot a bunch of deer with the 130 TMK ammo I had loaded in 6.5 PRC and the effects are devastating.

Prior years I shot a bunch of deer with 130 TMK in 6.5 Creedmoor in a different 18" barrel and the effects were average with a lot of bloodshot fascia and shredded organs. PRC takes it to another level tho.

This is my 6.5 CM load for 130gr TMK. 18” barrel.

This is my 6.5 CM load for 130gr TMK. 18” barrel.

Maybe I should spice mine up a bit to better fit quick drops. I’m at 41.5 gr IIRK, but damn it shoots

I have no experience hunting with them but I've shot of bunch of them in my 6.5x47L and they are very accurate.
