  • No i do not hunt for a living, I just enjoy hunting. I use 129grn SST out of my Ruger 77 MK2. Very Very accurate, only down side is hard bullet and does not open up very well on large game at short range

  • @coulsonnn Takes one to know one!

  • I Love the 6.5x55 :) best little hunting cartrage ever made, low noise, virtualy no recoil, and absolutly deady on any and all game, none of my magnums ever killed any quicker, I handload 120gr ballistic tips right at 3000fps in mine for deer and 140gr SSTs @2740fps for the bigger stuff. I have yet to ever see an anamal in the wild that requires the 160gr bullets.

  • coulsonnn your a fucking dick , nice clip mate alot of hard yards gone in great to see , good luck 

  • @ondeckcru The 6.5 Swede is probably one of the best calibres out there.Low recoil,inherently accurate and the very high sectional density means exceptional penetration.The Scandinavians harvest their moose with this.Do not go by magnum mania.This will take them all with ease. You will not regret and you may actually get rid of your other bigger rifles.

  • no offence mate but you look abit queer to me? am i right? and thick. are you thick aswel? you do look thick, and gay. i bet youre both. im dieing to know??

  • @ikilldeerlots Thank You that helps a lot, I'm looking for a proper rifle to take with me! and I'm glad I received an answer after these months. Best Hunting!

  • @ondeckcru im a hunting guide in scotland and tho i use a 243 if i could afford a 65 55 i would deffo have one they are the all round caliber !! if you can afford it go for a 65 55! well worth the bit more money, ive shot roe deer ( a small framed deer around 10-20kg dressed and red deer 100+kgs with the 65 55 and its kills then but dosent make them into mince meat! just make sure and use the right bullet like hollows and ballistics will destroy meat but a soft nose is ideal! hope this helps ?

  • Wow.. I wish I can hunt in New Zealand!!!

  • @frankbama94 Hello, I'm looking for a caliber for game such as deer, boar, bobcat and coyote, is 6.55x55 to powerful, or should I go with .243 win, my 30-30 is too much for the smaller game. Thanks

  • Just bought one with a plastic stock circa 80's.?? Nice video thanks
