Aalf - what do you use in the 47? What bbl length and speed? Thanks.
FWIW, my go to for a long time has been the 130 AB in 6.5......but a mono 100, or most conventional 120-130s, designed for hunting, or PROVEN for hunting, gets the job done.
Mono's need speed, so keep them high at ranges used, and I'd go for bone if using a mono. After the 130 AB, my pick for deer would be 120 BT, 125 PT (not needed) but a good one none the less, the 129 SP is a LONG Time proven bullet. 120 Corelokts have dumped some for me from the Swede. Many people use them with great results, but for me to say 400 yds, I think a good 120-130 is plenty BC, SD, and mass for deer. On the Berger 130s, heard nothing but great things, and they are very accurate. That said, even the 100 BT is a killer on deer to modest ranges, though I would always pick a 120 BT over it. The Barnes is one exception in 100 gr if using at closer ranges where impact speed is high.
