some great posts on this thread!!
killed my first deer with a 6.5,,,,,,a 6.5x52 Carcano,,,,surplus M38 bought from a barrel at the old Coast-to-Coast hardware store in northern Wisconsin in 1974,,,,,believe it cost $25,,,,,,
really like 6.5s but closest I have at the moment is my 250-3000 Savage 99,,,,,,,,,
always wanted a 6.5x55,,,,even have dies already,,,,reckon I need to pull the trigger on a gun one of these days,,,,,
wouldn't pass up a 6.5 Creedmoor if I won one at a banquet!!! not sure I'd buy one though (I like older rounds for some reason),,,,,,,,
