Good plan,shooting lighter bullets in a light weight '06.

I have a very light HVA '06. It does really well with 130 gr. Hornady SP, (not the varmint version). Will shoot thru a WT and is a killer at 3+K fps.

The 125 NAB is another good choice.

If a 130 will shoot thru a WT, why get beat up with 180's, etc... And the extra speed helps.
