[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 985819, member: 10178"] Depends on what your going to shoot it in? If it is in a 264 Win mag or some wildcat around it you need a tougher bullet like one of the bonded bullets for those close up inside 100 yards shots that seem to always pop up. In my 264 Win mag I use the Nosler 130 Accubond at 3350 fps muzzle and it is in my book the perfect bullet for deer size game. I deer hunt with it and have taken deer from 30 to a little over 400 yards and it expands but holds together and exits and kills them DRT. If you are going to be using something that will not have a impact velocity over 3000 fps then most any 120 to 140 gr cup and core bullet does fine. I have killed lots of deer with 120 gr Sierra Sp and Nosler ballistic tips as well as 140 Sierra SP and Hornday SP in my 6.5x55. When you get beyond 300 yards the 140 gr bullets do better in the wind than the 120s. If you do your part these bullets will do their part. [/QUOTE]
