Shot a bear this year with a 150 Fusion out of my 308 and it died very quickly. I JUST got done doing some load development with my rebarreled 6.5 and it shot the 140 eldm well, but it shot the 130 TMK absolutely lights out. I'm going to tinker with the 140 a little more to see if I can get it on par with the TMKs group size, but the easy button would be to buy 2k of the TMKs and move on with my life.
Long story short, I'd trust pretty much any of the popular bullets mentioned here for the 6.5 to do a number on a bear.
