Section 6: Rifles Subject: 6.5X54 Msg# 1220099

| That's a good question for discussion. "Karamojo" Bell shot a few hundred elephants with the 6.5x54, but...his shots were almost, if not always, at extremely close range, probably less than 25 yards? So while the 6.5x54 was a good killer in the right hands--and it did take "the right hands" to drop an elephant with a brain shot--I'd have to look at the ballistics charts. The 6.5x54 has less power than the 6.5x55--one of the best 6.5s out there. I'll do a little checking and see if I can form a better opinion. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Kidding, probably good for deer size game out to 300 yards, what say you? |
