I didn't realize that there were two different chambers. I'm only guessing it's the II because I built the rifle recently.

EDIT: as I stated in the OP, this is not a Don't kill that, or use a bigger bullet thread. I am simply asking that if you were restricted to lighter bullet weights, and couldn't push it much past 2500 FPS what bullet would you use?

I don't care about 160gr, 140gr, or 155gr bullets, my magazine is not long enough to accommodate them. I am using a 6.5 grendel so information on 6.5-284s, 6.5 swede, and 260 rem is completely irrelevant. all I want to know is what is the best 120gr bullet for big game and would a nosler E-tip fit that bill?
