[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2361480, member: 116439"] Now this is just on paper and not on all different bullets. 6.5X55 has taken more animals in Africa than any other caliber including Elephant. The 260 and 6.5 Creed are on the market, but when handloading come on to play the 260 shines. these are the 6.5s that started it all. The 6.5X55 has a hard time because of LA. which really doesn't matter much.https://youtu.be/Cv4tsEqyTFQ Just wanted to show this Now with hand loading and all the newer bullets we ll have great choices. i really like some of the older 6.5s coming out. MY favorite is the 260 but now with a little more punch the 6.5 X284 which is almost the same a "F" Class "6.5 06" that has taken many Meets and set records. I personally think that the 6.5 with the right bullet composition, right twist and weight along with the right powder can take any animal in the world. We see more on more hunters going to the mag 264 cartridge, You will also need everything I said before along with a barrel twist to handle the size of the bullet. 6.5 bullet is inherently a very aerodynamic designed bullet. You just need to get the weight, bullet composition, and the twist of the rifle barrel. We have several 6.5mm Krieger barrels stored away for some real nice "F" Class Comp,, Just waiting on JGS for the Reamers. Which ever way you go with a 6.5mm you will do well!!!!! Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
