clearly, a plethora of wonderful 6.5 cartridges. I must admit that I am somewhat surprised at the abundance of non-magnum entries. It bodes well, in my opinion, that so many very knowledgeable riflemen are pleased with a light recoiling rifle sending a moderate sized bullet at 2400-3000 fps. Especially since the 6.5 has become a darling of the long range crowd. interesting indeed. | |||

I have always been intrigued by the 6.5x55 Swede since a fella in deer camp had one when I was young, and had never heard of it. When the 6.5 craze hit, I wanted a 6.5 but didn't want a creed. Picked up a nice T3X Hunter in 6.5x55 SE, and really love it. Next 6.5 will be a Model 70 Supergrade in 264 Win Mag, always wanted one. Auburn University BS '09, DVM '17 | |||

I have never been impressed with the 6.5s, I see them compared with the 270 and 06 and that's a bunch! Bell killed lots of elephants with one, but declared his pick of modern calibers for elephant would be the .308..All in all,its just another nice caliber, like dozen of others.

I recently bought a 6.5 Creedmoor shot it about a box amd it passed accuracy but failed on muzzle velocity and whatever it suited me not. I suppose the fact that an original FN 250-3000 showed up on my door step and those of you who know me know I swooned over that and I sent the Creedmoor packing, prejudice for the 250 always wins in my case!, not all is lost, I still have a 6,5x54 Mannlicher Schonauer 1903 that I love..

I feel the same about that thousand others! ld Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
