Same experience with 6.5x55 with the 129 ABLR over 51.5 gr. R26 at 2950 fps. On three deer worked fine but I have avoided a shoulder shot so far. In and out the slats they work well but I am going to switch to either the 142s or the regular Accubond once I run out of these to avoid a possible mess if I have to shoot through any bone bigger than a rib at shorter ranges.
