I hear ya on that one. I was introduced to the virtues of the 6.5 last year. Im still learning, but already in love. I cant for the life of me figure out why the simple 6.5x55 Swede isnt the most popular caliber in the US.
I guess there are too many hardheads like me that just didnt pay attention? I had to have a friend beat it in my brain and get me to open my eyes. Recoil of a 243. Trajectory of a 270. Penetration and energy of a 300win. What the hells not to like?
