Hey bobin ive had 3 x 6.5x55s 2 x 260s and 2 x 270s. Ive shot probably a 500 or 600 critters with em. I know what works and what doesnt
The 6.5 Swede just does it in my books, none of the 270 fuss.
Stevil,
I'm sure you found the same thing anyone who's shot several hundred critters finds.
Any reasonable cartridge will kill em, some just do it with less powder, recoil, and muzzle blast!
I've shot 1000s of rounds through my current 270
I'm almost to 50 with my 6.5 Swede and it's a large enouph sample I can reasonably conclude it is noticeably softer and quieter. In fact it's a damn nice shooting rifle in comparison.
I've not shot any critters with the 6.5 yet but I'll take your word on its effectiveness.
Shod
