I have to go with the 129 Interlock, also. My Criterion barrels shoot these well with any load, but I have yet to find a rifle in ANY caliber that does not like Interlocks. I have shot around 200 deer with Interlocks in 6mm and 6.5mm, and a few with .308 and 30-06 and they are super accurate and kill deer just fine.


I'd have to agree with that statement. I know Sierra have the reputation of accurate bullets but the flat base Hornady Interlocks have shot well in a wider range of different calibres and cartridges for me.
