“In his 1927 book, “Wilderness Hunting and Wildcraft,” the late Townsend Whelen wrote that one of the best big-game cartridges was the 6.5×54 Mannlicher, saying its, “long bullet drives well through heavy bones and muscular tissues. It is the lightest cartridge that I would consider suitable for all American big game.”
Interestingly, that 110-year-old cartridge is ballistically inferior to the 6.5 Creedmoor.”

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
