My dad has been using the 130 gr version in his .270 Wby for years. The MV is around 3200 so they are cooking. They kill excellent on high shoulder shots, which is his preferred location. Very, very few runners. Pass throughs are 50/50, with the offside hide catching many.
Alhough, with the lower MV of a 6.5 creed, they'd probably expand less violently so you may get more penetration.
GTG in my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to try them.
I loaded up the .277 130 Interlocks for my buddy's Tikka 270. IMR 4451 and not a fast load at about 2800 FPS but cloverleaf groups. Every deer he has killed with my hand loads has been DRT. He's very impressed.
