im in the market for a bolt action hunting rifle and I was originally looking for something in the 6.5x55 cartridge due to high accuracy and low recoil. but the 6.5x55 cartridge does seem a bit small for some of the game id like to take in the future (elk and black bear) so ive been branching out trying to find a cartridge that catches my fancy. im a fan of strange cartridges and even I cant tell you why I pick some over others but its just the way I am. so as the title says, what are the benefits here?
1. current production factory rifles chambered in this?
2. trajectory?
3. effective with cast bullets?
4. ability to dirt big game fast?
thanks
