ammo producer RWS define 6,5 swedish as : The 6.5 x 55 is definitely a fast cartridge with extended trajectory. Its internal precision is excellent and as a hunting cartridge it is optimally suitable for all medium-sized, but also for lighter red deer and wild boar.
Kudu, eland and oryx are not medium size game
.
It's also alowed bullet (over 140gr) in my homeland Estonia for big game... but it's not the best option for it.
Have more than 10 years experience with swedish hunter coming over here to hunt mose or wildboar with 6,5 swedish...and fairily this is not the best option...it's work when you shoot from tower or stick but for driven hunt you need something "better and bigger"
