The 127g LR has been a very easy bullet to tune for me in the 6.5/06, 6.5x55 custom Rem 700. At 3150 fps in the 6.5x55 custom, I am using a 26" Brux #6 contour, with R#26 and cci 250...tiny groups. Using Both R#23/22 in the 26" Brux, 6.5/06 around the same speed, #5 contour
Both of the barrels above are 8T, and both shoot sub 3/8" three shot groups that repeat. These I use on power line tree stands for deer and hogs.
For short range of 300 and under, the 6.5/06 with the old Hornady 129g Sp will NEVER let you down in terms of penetration on bone from any angle, an amazing bullet.
