Angus,

That was probably true at one time, but I have hunted in Scandinavia and the 6.5x55 isn't nearly as popular as it used to be. My first trip was to Norway in 1996, and by far the most popular big game round was the .308 Winchester--I would guess because Norway was one of the original NATO countries

I hunted with a number of different hunters during traditional game drives (popular over there), and never ran into a hunter with a 6.5x55.
