[QUOTE="baret1967, post: 1315699, member: 101554"] 6.5 X 55 it will take out every known animal in North America. I'm not sure there are exceptions with a modern hunting rifle (not my 1900 Swede it only likes the 120 grain banes 140 & 160 grain SP Hornady 1/2 inch group with all three to 300 yards) you can use light bullets 100 grains for small varmits/ game or 160 grain round nose for the bruin you all seem worried about. I have shot deer at 300 yards plus and they drop. Scandinavians still hunt moose with the cartridge. The 6.5 X 55 has been used for over 100 years for long range target shooting with some awesome results. That's mine!!! I also own the 6.5 Grendel and have shot 2or3 6.5 Creedmors very accurate and a pleasure to shoot [/QUOTE]
