I have a Howa 6.5x55 and it's one of my favorite calibers.I'm thinking about selling my 25-06 to try something else just for the sake of trying something else. 6.5CM interests me but have always wanted to try a 6.5x55 Swede. An oldie that those across the pond swear by for groundhogs to moose and everything in between!
Funny thing about recoil. I don't seem to notice much recoil when shooting my 7mag at a deer but I get up from the target bench crying!
I didn't even hunt with it last year but I was actually thinking today about hunting with it this year.
It's accurate and deadly with light recoil and noise. I handload for mine using the 140 Accubond.
