As usual, the bullet that shoots best in your gun, is probably the best one to use. There are so many choices and almost none of them are bad. I would assume you are talking deer?

I am running factory hornady 120gr Amax out of my custom Armalite AR-10 6.5CM. I feel really confident that deer sized and smaller game dont have a chance with this round!

The Factory 120 GMX ammo hauls ass from my 22.5" rifle at avg 3065fps and it's a monometallic hunting bullet.
The 129 SST is a great bullet and comes in factory ammo form.
My deer last year went down hard from a double lung and heart shot with hand loaded 140 Amax @ 360ish yards out

My dad has had great success with the 95 grain V-max out of his Savage LRP 6.5mm. He has dropped ever deer or pig he's pulled the trigger on where it stood with either a neck or head shot.

I had stellar results with a 178 A-max out of a .308 last year. I'm going to give 140 A-maxes a try out of the .260 this year. From what I've learned, I think they'll put the smack down on any creature in the reticle.

These</div></div> I am in the build process of getting a 6.5mm Creedmoor so when I take it hunting I am trying the SST's and then the Accubond. I know they will be killers.
