[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1167401, member: 42308"] In short, yes. From a commercial action or a surplus Carl Gustav? Nothing wrong with a quality Gustav, just have it checked over closely, work up loads carefully and adhere to published data. In a modern commercial action a fair bit more is usually safely possible. I can attest to the great terminal performance of 6.5 bullets. Specifically the 123 AMX, 140 SST and 140 Berger VLD. I have several 6.5 rifles from 6.5 Grendel to 264 Win mag. I've killed a lot of deer with them and have not had to track one yet. Of course proper shot placement means everything and is easily accomplished withy he manageable recoil and reliable terminal performance of the quality 6.5 projectiles. Have fun, be safe. [/QUOTE]
