Having attempted to digest some of Mr Fosters colossal tomb on the 6.5x55 with regard to projectile choice, I am interested to hear your experiences on what you chaps have used effect on deer. Rather than general banter on any and all .264 projectiles and calibres, just limiting discussion to the 6.5x55, and what you have actually field tested or seen first hand.

I have some loads with 160gr Interlock with the intention of keeping shots under 100m, but I think I should at least have something in the 130-140gr range. I was going to default to 129 or 140gr interlocks but after reading the article I really don't know what to try. Maybe its splitting hairs but worth the discussion nonetheless.

If you want cheap but reliable there isint anything wrong with interlocks.
