i used a 6.5 140 grain VLD Berger target bullet in my 256 Newton worked just fine to kill a deer and in my 6.5 AR-10 bolt Ruger precision rifle same bullet shoots 1/2 inch or less all day long at the gun range at 100 yards - 5 shot groups. i feel its a great bullet but finding them now might be hard too ? good luck,Pete53
