[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 497853, member: 5418"] THere are some others, some you probably wouldn't go for! Doubt you would post on this site if it interested you, but 6.5TCU and 6.5BR and I think there is one in the Whisper range. Here in South Africa the 6.5x57 has a following. Ballistically it's basically a Swede. In Europe there is a 6.5x68 (off the 8x68s case) that seems to be real dynamite if you read the numbers. I've seen only one here and several for sale, but never shot one. It is a factory chambering. Then there's all the antique stuff, 6.5x54 (Mannlicher), 6.5x58 (also called the 6.5x58 Portuguese plenty here), 6.5 Carcano, 6.5 Ariska. A 6.5 Gibbs could be fun, but I don't know quite enough to comment more. There has also been a 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag done (and probably a heap of others!). What did I miss? [/QUOTE]
