129's do well on deer out of a 6.5 creed and 6.5x47L seated close to the lands.
129's seem easy to tune in several rifles. They are a heck of a lot better bullet than a 130 berger on deer, IF you want penetration with expansion. They are made to expand at long range. They kill the living hell out of anything you shoot.
I have not got to the 142's yet, 6.5/06 is about ready with R#26.
