Preferred bullet for 6.5 cm

[Lumpybrass]

I'm working up a load for a new Ruger rpr in 6.5 cm. In another post I complained about variations in bullet size of Hornady bullets.
I fired some during fire forming cases and they were ok. Fire forming is not a good test session for evaluating bullets.
Only having bought 100 rounds, I need to buy more.
What is considered a premium bullet for this cartridge? I would like to avoid trying half a dozen brands looking for a good performer.
Thanks

I just switched from ELDs to 142 SMKs. They are much better so far. Easy to load for too. All 3 rifles are running a SMK bullet now and all 3 landed on .025 or .030 jump.

Was loading 140 ELD-M and SST.
Just started Berger 140 Classic Hunter. Surprising improvement. MUCH tighter groupings!

Every rifle seems to snack on different pills. My RPR will chew on the 147s from Hornady and really enjoy them but those 140 Barnes matchburners in my rifle are stupid silly accurate. If your simply making a target round you will do yourself justice by trying out the best from each brand and seeing what your gun tells you. The nice thing is H4350 is a very good powder to test with all types of bullets. RL16 also seems to work with just about all of them to a degree or more. YMMV

My last barrel really liked the 143 ELD, but the one I have now likes the 140, and 123 ELD, but not the 143.
