6.5 w/ 120s work great on German Reh and equally well on Southern WT! Killed a bunch with my Win Mdl 70 w/ the Speer 120 HC. None went more than 30 yds, and that one was a broadside pass thru, no bones/ribs hit. Now using the 140 Spper HC in case I run into a hog, and also because I shoot a Mauser 6.5.

I had a 6.5x55 for years. Took several deer and my first pronghorn with one. Excellent round!


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
