Hi all,
I have had my 6.5x55 Sauer 100 in my safe for about a year. It's only had 20 shots through it. They were factory 139gr PPU and they shot exceptionally well (yes they were filthy).
I have a NSW deer hunt coming up and was thinking that perhaps these pills might be ok to use on Fallow and remote possiblity of a Red.
For those that have used this ammo in 6.5x55, is it too softly loaded to be effective? Is the bullet reliable and would you use it on these species? (Yes i know 270 is minimum for Red in VIC, thank you).
I assume heart/lung shots would be ok. What about bone?
If the feedback is good, i might take it along for something different, if not, I'll go the 30-06 and 243 as my usual backup.
Feedback is appreciated.
