HELLO !! I've just recently tried this forum. As I expected, you folks present a great amount of beneficial knowledge. I am in Western Pa. and have reloaded most of my adult life (now retired sheetmetal worker). My current favorite pet is a 6.5x55SE that was created from a dukes mixture of parts. I also help a local custom rifle builder finalize and break-in rifles for his cutomers. His pets are 6.5/284's built on Sako85 actions with Walther reverse taper barrels. I can't recommend the Swede highly enough and insist that everyone should have at least one. Fenominal performance without being kicked like a mule.
I am also an Advisory Staff member for Barnes bullets and their new 130gr Triple Shock in 6.5 is quite accurate in my rifle (and others) and should satisfy the needs of most all hunters. You'll need to get on the band wagon with solid copper bullets as the tree huggers have already killed lead-filled pills for military and law enforcement. You'll be next !
Greetings to all from Pa. !
