    6.5 mm

    So I’m looking for insight on the 6.5mm cartridge. I have the creed already but looking at 6.5x47,6.5x55swede,6.5saum. I would like one of the 3 but haven’t narrowed down so if you have these and have a review that would be appreciated. Cost of rounds is a non issue

    You should also consider the .260 remington. I have 2 of these and I love them. One is in the AR10 platform and it is a joy to shoot. Accurate as hell.

    I have a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. It is my favorite hunting round from coyotes, hogs ,deer to elk. load with 120-200grn. Mild recoil and never had an animal take more than 5 steps. P.S. also held most accuracy records for 70 years.

    Thanks guys for the input. I didn’t even think about the 260 rem. I am starting to lean more towards the Swede buddy has the action so I just need barrel blank and stock
