In my 6.5x55 I've used a lot of different bullets for deer & pigs since 2004 starting with 120gr. NBT all the way up to 156gr. Norma RN and they have all worked.
Being frugal I have purchased bulk 140gr. Rem. PSP-CLKT and 140gr. Speer spritzers and they've been flawless.
I take full advantage of the SPS and procure my 120gr NBT and 130gr NAB when available.
I could hunt the remainder of my life shooting the 120gr NBT, 129gr Hornady Spire Point and the 130gr NAB out of my Tikka T3 Hunter in 6.5x55mm at deer and pigs and want for nothing.
