[QUOTE="Oi.223, post: 1608515, member: 107540"] The 6.5x55 works just fine for elk, so any deer would not pose much of a problem from a terminal ballistics standpoint. If you're not a handloader though, I'd take the .270. There's just not that much out there for 6.5 Swede factory loads compared to the .270, and as mentioned earlier the 6.5 factory loads are weaker than a modern gun justifies. They download the factory ammo to keep those of us with M96 Mausers from blowing them up with full, modern pressure loads. [/QUOTE]
