I shoot the 120 BT in my 6.5x55 Mod. 96 Swede that has been scoped and sported out. I left the 29" barrel alone and with 46 grs AA4350 it will do 3000 fps and shoot well under 1" at 100. This is supposed to be under 46000 CUP according to Accurate. I have been shooting it for years. It will smoke a deer.
 
If anything, it will be on a Pacific Blacktail. The only one I've shot with this rifle was with the 100 grain BT which did an impressive job. Shot one coyote with that load also.
Too many rifles and not enough hunts.
 
The load my 6.5x55 likes is 47gr H4350, 120gr BT OAL 3.00" Crimped with Lee crimp die. 2850fps in the Military 23.5"
