[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1544481, member: 59526"] It's not really up for debate that the 6.5x55 round built it's legend on the 160 round nose. When WDM Bell was brainshotting elephants it was a 160. The majority of the moose felled in northern Europe were likely shot with a 160. You can say 30 cal isn't any type of step up but I sincerely doubt that. A 140-160 gr bullet at 3k isn't going to hit as hard as a 180-220. I do however agree that serious guns start at .35-.375.
