Consensus on 156 Berger’s?

Any experience on bigger game with these?

I am looking to try them on a moose for my wife this year. We will probably only be pushing them 2500 mv out of her short 6.5 creedmoor but she is only a 300 yard shooter right now.

What velocity window are these working best at? Bull moose can end up a bit wider than deer my hope are the lower velocity may aid with a deeper penetration and an exit with good damage in the vitals.

I will have some big moose pills to back her up in case it goes awry. Also first time we will ever hunt with a berger and I've always been a skeptic.

I can’t imagine you’ll have any issues, and that lower MV should aid in a deeper wound channel like you alluded to

That is my hopes. A passthrough on a moose will be a lot to ask for. I think it will go well and may change my ideals on some of rifles. Worst comes to worst I will have a 300 gr 338 heading it's way quickly after.

The 156 will kill it no problem, but they are big animals that need to lose a lot of blood pressure to die. Don't steal her thunder if it isn't going anywhere too thick. It'll die.
