[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 511353, member: 10178"] I have not met a 6.5 caliber that I don't like. I have a number of 6.5X55 Swede rifles and a 264 Win mag and have found that the longer the barrel the better with them all. That 29" barrel on the 6.5X55 M-96 Mauser can get you some serious velocity without a lot of pressure. 120's at 3000 fps and 140's at 2850 fps is nothing to sneeze at. The deer sure don't like them because they just fall dead at the shot and it does not seem to matter how far away they are if you can adjust your scope. :D [/QUOTE]
