Best 6.5 mm for hunting?

I can promise that you are very far from hurting my feelings. You are going to have to try a lot harder.





Fanboys are way too predictable.

stop lying. The butt hurt is strong in you. You proved it by name calling because somebody likes a certain caliber of weapon. You seem insecure and probably have too much free time on your hands. I mean just imagine having a special nickname for people who like a certain caliber of weapon. Get a life.

The only person I see with their panties in a wad is you. So there goes your theory out the window.

lol wrong. You are the one calling names. I mean honestly just imagine the type of loser who just sits at their keyboard waiting to call somebody a “fanboy”....what does that even mean??? Somebody who is a fan of something. Jesus man get a life lol.

Again, you are the only one with your panties in a wad. You should re-evaluate.
 
Should be a fun build when done, and a dream to tote around!

I've had several 6.5's over nearly 40 years, I imported (to New Zealand) a Heym SR20 in 6.5x55 waaay back in 1982. It never shot that well so got moved on. Many, many rifles later I have a rebuilt (as close to "as built" as possible, using all the original barrel fittings etc) Mauser Oberndorf Model B "kurz action" sporting rifle. It is in 6.5x47 as its factory chambering was 250-3000 (this barrel was completely toast) and I already had one of those. The originals were chambered in 6.5x54 Mauser (not the same as 6.5x54 MS) but that was a fairly unsatisfactory combination as the x54 was really to long for the short action. With a 1920's action I was a bit worried about a future owner using hot modern factory loads , so decided not to go with 6.5 Crudmore (6.5x47 factory is not available here).

It shoots 125 gn partitions very well at a fairly pedestrian 2700 fps, but has accounted for many Tahr in our mountains here, and at 7 lbs scoped and loaded, its a delight to carry
 
6.5 Sherman Short or the new 6.5 Sherman Max.

Easiest description of the cartridge is that it's an improved SAUM. Headstamped brass is available, reamers, etc. The ADG brass is top notch. Its just about the easiest wildcat that I'm aware of. It doesn't burn up barrels, despite its' performance.

I have the 6.5ss and I'm very happy with it. I watched its development over the last few years, and it seems to be getting more popular, not fizzling out, so I finally jumped on the band wagon.
I really like the Sherman short and max lines
