More to the Op's question, there is plenty of 6.5 ammo around in brands that I've actually heard of both in store and online. None of it is cheap but I'd feel more comfortable with a more established brand.

Cow elk yes, dbl lung, x2
Meat buff no, heart shot, heart pulped, bullet not recovered internally.

143 eldx fly great. Not the best killing bullet IMO but get it done. Berger 140 vld's would be at the top of my list as well.
