[QUOTE="A guy named Bob, post: 2599388, member: 116940"] My experience with my 6.5 PRC rifle and that bullet was so bad at 100 yards I never even considered testing any further. I tested several different bullets and found the 156 was by far the best for my rifle and what I wanted to use it for. Personally, The only rifle that shot Nosler LR AB bullet is my 270, other than that I have had horrible luck with the LRAB line. With that being said, The Accubond (non LR) is my go to with most my magnums. I have made a tremendous amount of one shot kills with that bullet. As for the 142, the 6.5 PRC deserves a heaver bullet, in my opinion. The 142 is a good fit for the 6.5 creedmoore, just my opinion. I want to make a suggestion, if you go with a different (other than AB) hollow point bullet, the kind that has the hole drilled in the center of the bullet with no plastic insert. Be sure to buy a good die set WITH the high B.C. bullet seating cone. I use Redding comp and love them. The reason I bring this up is the factory cone (esp RCBS) can and will crush the hollow point to where it wont expand on impact. This was a very tough lesson for a friend/ reloader. The bullets were essentially a full metal jacket. Lets just say there was way too many animals with good hits but never recovered. Tough lesson and dont want anyone to experience the same hell. My comments are based off my experience and opinions, you might have great success with those bullets. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
