I’m shooting 140gr. Sierra GameKings. The 140gr. tipped Sierra GameKings would probably good. Going to try them in my 6.5 CM.

I shoot the 140 gr Winchester ballistic/silver tip when I have my shooting house gun and Hornady 139 gr softpoint in the woods.
I’ve shot the Winchester 140 for years. Honestly there’s so many good bullets out now, any decent 140 gr will work.

shooting Hornady Lite 120SST in my 7mm-08 Rem. model 7. It appears to like them over the 150 grain stuff. Still wanting to try the 139gr pills. I assume the 20" barrel just don't get the heavier one up to speed. Length of barrel doesn’t matter near as much as rate of twist. Slower twists like lighter bullets and faster twists like heavy bullets.

I assume the 20" barrel just don't get the heavier one up to speed. My Model Seven has a 20” barrel. I also load for one with an 18.5” barrel. Both shoot 140 grain Accubonds and Partitions very accurately.

Never had issues with 140 corelokt until they couldn't be found.
140 Nosler accubond have been deadly, but they are now $80+ per box
Bought a bunch of 150 ELDX and Norma during COVID, but have not shot any. Reloading has its perks. I don’t think I’ve paid over $20/50 for Accubond bullets. I stocked up when I first got started, so I’ll never run out. 😎

I shoot 140 grain Accubonds in my 7-08. I’ve also used 120 grain NBTs with great results, as well. That 120 grain NBT punches WAY above its weight class. I think the 140 grain Accubonds were what a friend had suggested.
