I have three 6.5x55's (all 1 in 8" twist) with which I primarily hunt deer and hogs. The following bullets from L to R have all worked well: 120gr NBT, 120gr TSX, 125gr NPT, 140gr NPT, 140gr Berger VLD and 140gr SGK. Hogs have been a convenient test medium since they are in season all year. Although none of the 6 have failed me, I find myself using the 125gr NPT's and 120gr TSX's most.....simply outstanding performance! I've yet to shoot a hog with the NBT or SGK, but they work well on deer.
