Dumbest thing I did was to sell my Sako Finnbear in 6.5X55.. I replaced it with a CZ550FS. For what ever reason the 6.5X55 seems to go well beyond what one would think it would do. With heavier rounds Elk and Moose are good to go. In the Scandinavian countries more Moose have been shot with the 6.5X55 than most anything else.
