Thread: Is a 6.5x55 enough gun for Thar

I use the berger VLD hunting. It works so far for what we do with it. But that's not to say it would work for you. I have only used them in a 6.5 at 2950-3100ish MV.

The only other projectile I have plenty of time with and especially If I was not getting the above velocities I reckon would maybe be the Hornady interlock if you get it to shoot well in your rifle.
Has shot well in several 6.5s I have owned and know of. Doesn't have a flash BC but that isint an issue at sensible ranges.
No doubt there are plenty of other suitable projectiles and no doubt heaps of people with defend the accubond from their personal experience.
Mine is the Accubond always kills if placed right but 9 out of 10 times Thar can act like you have clean missed and wander to die or fall where you don't want them to. Very little damage compared to other projectiles.
Had it happen more than I would like and as recently as last year with a big magnum. I didn't see the swirl or impact and extra shots were fired. 2 shots were kill shots but the bull moved into the scrub and looked no worse for wear. It wasn't till we reviewed video we knew it was hit well.
I am only talking about Thar. I don't really have any experience with how they perform on other animals apart from chamois. But you can' fart near some chams and they will tip over dead
