6.5CM 129 and 142 ABLR Questions

[ChemE]

I have tried just about every good round I could get my hands on and a few crappy ones too. My rifle likes the Nosler Trophy Grade 140 accubond the best and I've killed 4 deer with them out to 250 yards. They are hard to find in my area but trophy Grade 129 and 142 ABLR and Winchester Expedition 142 ABLR are pretty plentiful. Before I drop some coin I wanted to know if anyone here uses any of these. I also wanted someone to compare the Nosler and Winchester rounds if anyone has used both

If you are only shooting out to 250 yards, any of them would do the job provided you gun likes them. Mine loves the 140G Nosler BT factory load and the 143G Precision Hunter load.

The 129 LRAB is a good deer bullet near and far.

My local mom and pop has about 30 boxes of the 129s for 50.00 a pop. I might pick up 2 or 3 to try them out.

I've killed a lot of deer with the 129 ABLR bullet. It wasn't factory ammo but I've been very impressed with the 129 both on game and targets.
