The 129-130 grain bullets have been a staple for my 6.5x55 and the BT kill really well, but so do the Hornaday's and all the others.


I'm down to my last bit of R17 and purposely haven't bought more. I'd be interested in finding out how well R16 works for you as I'm considering that as well for 130s.


Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
