The 6.5X55 is THE best kept secret for big game hunting for those that don't have one. huntsman22 uses the .260 with 130 gr.TSX's and his bull wasn't small last year, a tribute to the darling 6.5, huntsman's woodcraft, and his marksmanship! The Swede loaded with TSX's or Nosler Partitions is plenty of gun for elk. If you don't load yourself get some Norma ammo. The Europeans load the Swede a lot hotter than the Americans do, it's a litigation thing here. Just put the bullet in the lungs and tenderloins are on their way!

How a man acts when he wins reveals part of his character, how he acts when he loses reveals the rest.
