Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 6.5 mm's for hunting?

I used to travel to Sweden on business and meet with auto test engineers at the company's proving grounds. They generally used 6.555 Swedes (some used the 8X57mm Mauser) on 500 Kg. (1,100 pound) moose and never reported any problems. If it works there, it�ll work here.

If I recall correctly, they used 160 gr. NORMA bullets.
