[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1604831, member: 69192"] You are absolutely correct, it seems like many have forgotten or have ever been exposed to the benefits of those long, round nosed bullets from yesteryear. I used to reload for a friend who hunted with a Karl Gustaf, 6.5 X 55mm Swedish Mauser. The rifle had the original open sights with an 18 inch (?) barrel; it was a short handy rifle. My friend liked the heavy 160gr, round nose bullets for deer hunting in Maine. Every deer he ever shot with that round was one shot DRT performance. I think that those bullets were an inch long of better. The other old reliable was the round nose, 180gr Cor-Lokt 30-06 ammunition, out to a 100 yards they were deadly on any game. This is a LRH forum so don't expect that there will be too much interest in these long, round nosed bullets, but they do work well for 100-200 yard hunting situations. [/QUOTE]
