Don't know what you are going to hunt but the 129g bullet will probably get the job done. That is a long jump to the lands but consider that the M96 Swede is a very accurate rifle and they too were long throated since they were designed for a 160g bullet. Lot's of Moose taken with the M96. If your 6.5-06 shoots the 129 accurately then I wouldn't be concerned. I shoot 120g bullets in my 6.5x55's and they do just fine. Not as accurate as the 140's moved close to the lands but plenty accurate for hunting.
