Tried this on general discussion without much input.Looking to come up with a new elk load for my 300 and was wondering if anyone here shoots Speer bullets. good bad or ugly.

  Does anyone remember back some years ago , whether or not Speer made a 129gr. RN bullet for the .264" dia. 6.5 mm caliber?? What was is designated ?

  I have an early "60's" reference that shows one made by Hornady but not Speer. It doesn't show a catalog or manufacturing number. This same reference shows Speer jumping from 120gr. to 140gr. offerings and Hornady jumping from 100gr. to 129gr.

  1979 and 1987 SPEER Manuals only show 120 and 140 grain Spitzers.

  Both Speer and HOrnady have 800 numbers and great folks to talk to.
  Give em a ring.

  I finished loading out some old 129 gr. bullets in my 6.5x55 last year. But, I remember they were spitzers not RN's.
