   Macks472 The Lee kit and a 6.5x55 is exactly what I have and everything falls over dead, for that matter, my mate who also has a 6.5x55 has the same result with his factory ammo.

    The 6.5x55, 6.5 CM, and the 6.5 PRC are pretty much of a muchness out to the 400-500 mark. They all throw a 140+gn boolit fast enough to kill animals cleanly. If you dont have much experience with...
