6.5x55 is no barn burner for velocity that's for sure, probably around 2500fps or so.
tddeangelo, at least your info wasn't from a "story" you read. Trying to avoid those who just relay info that they read somewhere. Thanks.
I'm guessing the AMAX would work okay. A friend had really poor results with that bullet out of a 6.5/06 on a few whitetails (LOOOONNNG tracking jobs) but he was pushing them nearly 3000fps.
