    I would suggest the swift 130gr because it kills up close and way out there. I have used them in 6.5-06 and .260 improved but at a little higher MV than a standard .260.
    I have shot the 129 gr interlock accurately to 600 and it is also a great killing bullet in my experience.
    I don't see any sense in a load that will not perform at all ranges. Stay away from SST and Amax if you are looking for an all rounder. But in saying that, they may be fine at a slower starting MV.
