[QUOTE="PartTimeHunter, post: 1447285, member: 100292"] Yeah the 6.5x55 can be tough to find at smaller places though the big stores in the city seem to have them. The issue I found when I had one was the "premium" ammunition was too hot for the old rifle (an older Voere) - both Nosler and Hornady 140's would stiffen up the bolt to be very hard to open. I do handload for all that I have now so can tailor the load to the gun. If I got her a 6.5x55 I would want it on a modern action that can take the higher pressure loads. Guess it'll be what I can find that fits, pretty much stuck on a 6.5 though and ... she's a lefty just to make it harder to find. May just find an action and build it for her. [/QUOTE]
