[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 2036497, member: 109801"] DO IT!!! I love 6.5x55 Swede. My go to rifle is a CZ 550 with full length stock in 6.5x55. In 2018 it downed my good size 4x4 mule deer at about 250yrds with 1 clean shot. It also downed my buddies forkhorn muley that year at about 40 yards. Last year it dropped my cow elk at about 175yrds with 1 clean shot. My buddy also killed his cow elk at the same time with his new to him Howa 1500 in 6.5x55 at about 160yrds. He took a couple extra shots, but it wasn't the rifles fault... All the above fell to 135gr Berger Classic Hunter bullets hand loaded at probably about 2600fps. My load isn't terribly fast, but it has been accurate and deadly. The recoil is very manageable with the round, and if you choose to hot rod it you can just Ackley Improve it to get some more FPS.
