I have some 129gr Hornadys on order, as well as 140gr ELD's on hand. Seems like R26 or Big Game should be good powders

I’d only bought 129 grain Interlocks and 120 grain ballistic tips. Neither dad or I have any other 6.5 rifles so bullet selection limited to these so far.

Dad has been doing the load work up and H4831SC and 4350 for powders, both giving good groups, but I think 4831 was best and what he ended up using, but both were good. Max book loads weren’t showing pressure signs from what he said.
