In the past 5 years, I've had five 6.5x55's and one 260. I've shot multiple deer and a bunch of hogs with those cartridges using several bullets: 120gr NBT, 120 TTSX, 125 NPT, 140 NPT, 140 SGK, 140 AB and 140 VLD. I've been pleased with all of them for those applications. I've read consistently good results about the 129gr Hornady and 130gr AB as well. Lots of good 6.5mm bullets to choose from!
