I use 139 grain scenars in my 6.5x55 target load (for my swede M41B) and with that load, I would hunt caribou and deer with it up to 100 yards with the M41B and 400 or so with my Blaer...

But that would be only head shots, I wouldnt think of shooting a larger game animal with one...well except maybe the little deer up here

The answer is Barnes if your gun will shoot them
