Thread: 6.5x55 factory ammo on deer ??

You could use a 6.5x55 barrel to make a blow gun and it would still kill deer at 300 yards.
All the suggestions here sound good. I hand load for mine but 140 grn Federal are very accurate and I keep a box up my sleeve as a spare. Have only shot one deer with it but it fell over just fine. They shoot 1.5" lower at 100 yards than my hand loads so I doubt they are galloping.

I have a part pkt if you want to try them. No trouble to drop off.
