Im looking for a cheap 6.5 plinking bullets, can anyone steer me in the right direction ?

You stated bullet, so I'm guessing your meaning a loading bullet.
The 90 grain tnt is probably going to be the cheapest bullet you can buy for making plinking rounds.
The cheapest factory ammo for plinking is wolf fmj's, they work good for cheap plinking ammo in my rifles to hit out too 400 yards.

Yes bullets for loading.
I buy loaded ammo, once shot reload the brass. I stockpile bullets as i can to reload when i have a good supply of brass.
To me its more cost effective to buy loaded, rather than buying empty brass

Purchased 500 rds bulk monster match bullets,123 grain 6.5 caliber from Midsouth shooter supply.$119.99 + $11 ship. Theyre supposed to be made by Nosler. Not a bad bullet for plinking. But,they cant compare to ELDM or SMK bullet.

Another bullet that can be bought on sale at decent prices is the Prvi Partizan (PPU) 120 grain HP BT from Grafs. I have bought a lot of factory seconds (blems) and over runs from Shooters Pro Shop. A Friend and I will drive to Sedalia, Mo to the Sierra factory to the factory outlet store. They sell factory seconds bullets by the pound. We stop at Graf and Son in Mexico Mo and Ive gotten some pretty good buys at their store that are not listed online.
Ive shot several hundred 120 grain Pro Hunter, 100 grain Sierra Varmint and 107/123 grain SMK that were factory seconds. For 300 yards and in these bullets still shoot very good for me YMMV.

What kind of time frame for shipping do they usually have? I have been trying some more Nosler bullets than I normally would. I have always used Hornady, but have had some concerns and issues as of late.

The midsourh monster match bullets are also a good choice I was able to get shots on an 18 inch gong with them at 1506 yards
