I've stuck with Hornady Interlock 129's and Nosler 140 Partitions for deer killing purposes with 6.5x55's lo these last 40 years or so since I got my first M94 carbine, up through my current Ruger #1. Accuracy and terminal performance is all I could hope for and want.
These last couple of years saw me expanding my horizons a bit as I laid in a supply of Berger 130 VLD Hunting and Lapua 139 Scenars. (Why, I don't know. There is little to no chance for long range target shooting or hunting where I live and where I hunt.) That was all moot as Covid + personal health issues precluded most of my shooting and all of my hunting last year.
