I’ve used hornady’s american hunter 6.5 cm and it dropped a doe in its place at about 60 yards.
X2 on the Hornady American Whitetail. My nephew shoots the 129 grain and it groups fantastic and hes even shot 4” plates at 300 yards through Ruger American Predator in 6.5 CM. And hes only 13 years old.
Killed an axis doe at 215 yards, dropped like a sack of potatoes with a good exit hole.

I don’t understand why people overthink bullets for whitetail so often.
Get some core lokts, nosler parts, or other soft nosed bullets...and go kill stuff!

A bad shot is a bad shot. Doesn't matter if its a 22lr or a 300 Win Mag.

The ELDX shoots lights out for my rifle, but after going through 2 deer and only finding shrapnel I won't be using them again.

I agree with most of the comments on this thread. After shooting probably 8-10 animals with these and all of the same results I am not disputing the killing power and internal damage they have caused. We have shot deer from 120lbs to a 225lb deer this weekend and they have had identical results, dead deer with no blood.
Since the 6.5 has become very popular they have started stocking a wider variety of bullets and that is why I asked the question of what has performed as I asked with good external and internal damage.
I think some of the manufacturers want to make something different for the sake of being different and not what performs on actual game. Thanks for all of the replies.
