I recently picked up another 6.5 Swede & it came with 400 rounds of factory loaded, 140gn BTHP (On the box velocity is 2796, but I haven't shot to verify)
Do any of you have any experience with this bullet? I've tried to find some reviews online, but it's all the same "you can't hunt with match bullets" line. I've killed enough stuff with TMKs & VLDs to know that that's crap. However, I have zero experience with Hornady that aren't ELDx or traditional SP hunting bullets.

Its a standard hollowpoint. May blow up if you hit something solid, but more than likely will pencil through. Put it through the heart or lungs and will work. Very accurate in my 6.5 CM.
