My Buddy told me most moose harvested in the world is by the 6.5 x 55 due to Scandinavia hunting.
I know it's not important here but the 6.5 has a robust sectional density offering.
So true on a lot of moose was taken with the 6.5x55 there that is the goto round.
I have hunted around the world in my years from Africa/Europe/Russia/Mongolia/Alaska and the lower 48 the rifles I pack is the 6.5x55/Weatherby 300mag/375H&H/30,06 Have taken a cape with the 6.5x55 a lucky shot right in the ear canal straight to the brain. Was aiming to break the neck he stepped backed just as I squeezed.
so as a smaller round it will do the job and also have been known to drop a elephant and as early in this thread bullet placement
