Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why choose .30 cal or .27 cal when choosing your rifles?

So I am thinking Sako Stainless Laminated Hunter in 6.5x55 SE

Think that the 6.5x55 SE is a bit more versatile than the other two because you can seat longer bullets in the longer action and the case has a longer neck, making it better suited to longer bullets.

All three 6.5x55, .260 and 6.5Creedmoor have almost identical powder capacity.

And the Sako wieghs 7.5 pounds... Hmmm maybe a bit heavy for its use. (As it should come in at just over 8pounds scoped)
But looks a nice rifle...
I think I am looking for something in the 6.5pound range...
