If anyone has used these bullets, would love to know what you think of one vs the other....is there any real advantage to the 6.5mm heavier bullet on game bigger than whitetail, like say moose inside 300 yards?

Asking because this site has changed my mind quite a bit on bullet size/effectiveness, although I know both being monos, they certainly won't do what the TMK or ELDM bullets do. Have killed big whitetail with 6.5mm 100gr TTSX so have an idea of what thats like

I am a big fan of the LRX's and the 127/6.5CM has been a great combo for us on deer/antelope.
I trust the 95 LRX would be a likewise good performer, just not sure on the bigger game as I've not used them.

I’ve had great results with the .243 and 80 gr TTSX that I’d assume the 95 LRX would be plenty of damage

I shoot the 130 Berger Hunting out of my 6.5X47 at 2950 fps. In my second X47 I shoot the 130 AccuBond at 2850 fps. Out of my 6.5 Sherman it's 140 Berger or 142 and 150 gr Matrix at 3200 to 3339 fps. For what you are wanting to do and moose and elk in the mix I would see if your gun likes the 130 Accubond. It has worked well on deer for me, but so has the Berger.

I'll be using the LRX from either cartridge, which is why I asked about those two specifically, but thanks.

I’ve killed a pile of hogs and a handful of deer with the 127 LRX from both .260 and prc. Wouldn’t hesitate to hunt anything in the lower 48 with them. Just keep velocity over 2K ish at impact.
