[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1857602, member: 10178"] I was a sucker for 6.5 before 6.5 was cool. WOW! That would make a good country song. My first 6.5 that I fell in love with was 6.5x55 in the old 96 Swede Mauser about 35 or so years ago. Even with the lower pressure loads with that 29" barrel you can achieve pretty high velocity. I found one that someone had already started hacking on and sported it and left the barrel alone. I have killed deer waaaaaaaaaaaaay across bean fields with it shooting 120s at 2950 fps and 140s at 2800 fps. I have some 6.5x55s, 6.5 Grendel's and one long barrel 27 3/4 264 Win mag. This pretty much covers the 6.5 spectrum of my needs. [/QUOTE]
