Question- how many guys load a rifle with every available bullet weight these days? I know I don't. I have maybe two loads per rifle. In 6mm I'd load a 105 or 115gr bullet for longer range shooting, and an 80gr TTSX for close-range killing. In 6.5mm I'd roll with a 120TTSX and 140VLD.
I'd shoot anything from coyotes to moose with either one. So all caliber nut-swinging aside, both would be great choices.
I have four different loads worked up for my 6.5x55...100's, 120's, 130's and 156's. I could hunt anything in the lower 48 with that gun, and would if I didn't have too many guns already.
6mm's are fun, and I have a 243. But they are a joke in the wind, even with a 105 or 115.
