Wat weights are availible for the 6.5 in the nosler balistic tips? I want a afordabile bullet for allround small/medium game hunting. Dont like hornady alot,too soft. But it must stil be a standard bullet...

Have you experimented with the Hornady SST bullets at all? I have heard good things from local hunters who hand load about it. One fellow that I know swore off Nosler Ballistic Tips, saying that they were way too soft and did not penetrate well even our small Blacktail deer here in Western Oregon.

The SST is available in a 6.5mm 129 gr boattail. The Hornady Interbond version of this same bullet has a thicker jacket, but is also far more expensive.

Speer's Hot-Cor hunting bullets are very tough bonded core bullets that are quite affordable. And they have a 120 gr 6.5mm bullet. It is a plain Spitzer design, though, and lacks a boattail.
