Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Building a speed goat gun?

Have you actually shot the 105 AM or 115 VLD at long range in the wind?

And I agree that you could hunt anything in the lower 48 with your 6.5x55- it's an excellent chambering, but I could also hunt anything in the lower 48 with a .243 loaded properly. BTW, we're talking about a dedicated speed goat rifle here, the smallest "big game" you can find in the lower 48...

Just for kicks:



Chart created using the JBM engine. Assuming the '06 case for both, 140 6.5 at 3000fps and the 105 6mm at 3350. Yes, there are two lines there.
