What's the convential wisdom between terminal performance on these two as hunting bullets?
Just to add some context I am more interest in the 6.5mm bullets. We have a new to us tikka 6.5 creedmor which my wife was able to put a .6 inch 3 shot group with the 140 smk. The bullet weight had pretty decent velocities and seems like a good shooter for that rifle. That leaves us to a hunting bullet choice for Moose sized game and smaller. The new 153gr tmk looks like a nice bullet and would lean towards that over the 130 tmk. The 142 gr smk and mkx seem to be in a better weight sweet spot for velocity and bc out of a 20" barrel.
If anyone has experience with these bullets on game out of a 6.5 would be helpful. Also, any information on game with other known good performers out of a 20" 6.5 creedmoor speed would be appreciated. Experiences and pictures are welcome. Also I may add we are looking at 400-500 yards and in for shots with this rifle.
