Hi,
I am looking to build a new rifle, and could use some advice regarding ammo options. I would like to build a 6.5x55 (swedish), but I'm struggling to find ammo that will be both good for hunting (White tail and Moose, eastern Canada) and also consistent enough to be fun to practice with at the range (600-1200y).
I am currently using a 6.5CM for hunting because it is very easy to find good precision-driven ammo (Sako, Hornady ELDX) that is good for hunting, and still precise enough to have fun with at the range (SD of 8-12FPS)
(My 'just for fun' rifles are a Mauser M96 and M41B, both in 6.5x55).
*I do not handload* (which I realize is the solution to my problem, but requires a level of investment (money, space, time) that I cannot make at the moment.)
Thanks in advance
