what 6.5 would you use if you were to hunt Moose and Black Bear?

[Joel]

All of em are mighty classy.

Yeah, that was a nice rifle... I have another one, but not for sale...

.220 Swift
.257 Robert's
6.5X55
7X57
.303 Brit
.35 Whelen

I'm into the classics, so 6.5x55

 

[WhelanLad]

another vote for the Classic in a modern stick! swede for me with a heavier woodleigh

 

[Qklese]

6.5 x 55 if I had to choose one.

 

[Weatherby2]

I'll be using my 6.5x300wby with the 140gr accubond

My 6.5x55 worked just fine for moose this fall. Tikka t3

What round were you using and what did you think, dead meat?

My son is using his Mark V deluxe 6.5x300 Weatherby this autumn, and I the 300 Weatherby. Go big or go home! Poor bull won’t have a chance.

 

[260SnowBird]

I'll keep using my 260, wouldn't say no to any of the others though!

 

[Wild_Thing]

The correct answer would be any of the above!

 

[Huntin' Gun]

I’d pick my 6.5-06. You don’t have that one as an option on the poll!!!

 

[Huntin' Gun]

But of my picks on the poll I’d either pick a 6.5x55 or .260. I own the 6.5x55, so I guess that one.

You must miss c-fbmi, who also likes fast and faster cartridges. Hope he can have second chance to rejoin this forum

260 Rem with 120 TTSX.

 

[Suther]

I can't answer the poll, because everyone knows you can't kill a bear with anything less than a 6.5-300 Weatherby...

I don’t know what happened to c-fbmi(aka- Douglas), however we do have a common interest in flat/fast trajectory cartridges. Everyone has different tastes of anything in life, I enjoy the fast, accompanied with accuracy.

 

[Sherlock Gnomes]

6.5 creedmor with 140 grain. My savage tactical hunter is a sweet shooter with it.

 

[Bigfoot 870]

I would normally say 6.5x55, but that .260 Rem, based on the .308 Win cartridge, seems legit out to 300 yards, with 140 gr NPs.

I miss him. He was a wealth of knowledge, and I liked his outlook on reloading. I loved his opinion of annealing - whats the point of annealing when your primer pockets are loose after 3 or 4 firings? Lol
