    Is a 6.5x55 enough gun for Thar

    Have just raised the idea of a Thar / Chamois trip with Mrs Mac and she didn't hit the roof so as far as I'm concerned it's all on but is 6.5x55 enough gun do you think?
    I've seen those Duley jokers shooting 700m + which might strain my barrel.
    I was contemplating a 300 win mag or similar but maybe shooting what I am most familiar with might be better?
    I'm not recoil sensitive but I am 70kgs soaking wet with my boots on so its a consideration.
    I'm thinking November or February at this stage
    Thoughts?
