I currently have a couple of 6.5s (6.5 X 55 and 264 Mag) and I am waiting for a 6.5 Creedmoor to arrive soon.
As I don't use these for anything other than Blacktail deer and Antelope, I have a couple of loads with 120-125 grain bullets that have worked well for me and have taken deer with the 100 grain BT as well.
Recently I started working with the 140 grain AccuBond and find these shoot decently.
I seem to gravitate toward lighter bullets in most of my guns with the exception of the 280 where the 150 grain bullets have done well.
Hoping to pick your brains here, do the 6.5s generally do better with the longer, heavier bullets? I'm not an accomplished target shooter but most of my shots will be at paper.
These represent some of my better. I'm happy with 1" or below but don't always get it.
