6.5 deer bullet

Shane296 said:
125 Nosler Partition. Brutally accurate in my T3.
Shot several deer between 50 and 250 yards with complete passthroughs. Most deer drop instantly. Doesn't normally leave a bunch of bloodshot meat either.
That is my favorite deer bullet to load.

Hey Shane, any load data for the 125 Nosler Partition? I noticed I have a couple boxes of bullets that I should load up and try.

I loaded 140 Nosler Partitions over 46.0 grains of RL-22 for a moose trip. Used it on deer and they died so never bothered changing. Just substitue 140 SST in them when I head to the range for plinking out to 700yds. Not a fast load by any means, but the 6.5 does well with lower velocities it seems.
 
Used 140 Accubonds in my 6.5x55, but never got to kill anything but paper.
Very accurate in my 6.5-06 as well, but just got a good deal on some 120gr TTSX, so will be working up a load for them soon.
Matrix 130gr RBT's were also very accurate in both rifles, but again, never got to try them out on deer.

I use 46.5 grains RL-19. 3.0" OAL. This is under max from the Nosler manual. I put that in Rem brass with CCI or Win large rifle primers. Fed brass seems to work well also. Easy to Get sub MOA if I do my part. Have not shot anything that is as effective as this load. Have not put load through chrony but should be around 2800-2900 fps.
 
I didn't work up my hunting load yet with 130g accubond, but I made a .270moa@100y group with the 100g Nosler b-tip.....

god I love the 6.5!!!!!!!! ;)

The 100 grain Nosler B-Tip is the other bullet I load for my T3. I don't have the load in front of me, but I think I use 49.5 grains of RL-19. Not the max in the book and worked up to on the range. It kills coyotes DEAD!
The nice part is, it has pretty much the same POI @ 100 yards as my 125 grain Partition load. I have never had this happen with another rifle. I think this T3 is Magic.
Both loads are very accurate in my rifle.

I dont' think its a T3 thing, my 6.5x55 has 85 and 140gr. bullets hitting the same @ 100 yards too. Its very useful to be able to change up like that. Im sure there's pretty good different once you go to 200 yards and beyond.
