When I was younger a guy that knew had a 6.5 x55 Swede.....it was rough and only iron sights but he kill more nice mature deer than anyone.....everyone else had 06 ...7,mm..270...his deer hit the grown just has fast has the others....6.5 is the most effective round for it's size and weight....140 grain is as deadly in deer as 7 mag or 300 mag I've used them all...all I've learned was those others are heavy and kick....hit them right they go down . Hit them bad they run and run....caliber is the least important after 6-6.5 mm
