[QUOTE="bayou shooter, post: 2893187, member: 90502"] If you hand load I would suggest the 6.5x55 Swede. I have one with a 1/8 twist, 24 inch barrel, and I use 140 gr BTHP bullets. It can be used at long distances or short and the recoil is so light your mother could shoot it. It has less recoil than a .223. You can still find Hornady 140 gr. SST bullets off the shelf for it. It is very easy to tune and if you go up to a 160 bullet you can take most any animal on the North American continent with it. [/QUOTE]
