Loaded some of these 140 SPBT PRVI bullet for my 6.5x55 Tikka and they shoot very accurately, has anybody used them for hunting?

What was your load, please? I had hard time getting accuracy with H100V.

They are good solid hunting pills, but accuracy can be hit or miss with PRVI. I have some factory loaded 6.5x55 with the 140's, and only one of my rifles will shoot them well. The 7mm 175's, 8mm 175's, and 9.3 286's I have loaded shoot well.
The BTHP 168gr 308's shoot well, but the 120gr BTHP 6.5's are pretty bad.
For the same price or cheaper I like Speer Hotcores, they shoot and perform well.
