Factory loads are fairly mild due to the older rifles available in that chambering.

Factory ammo is mildly loaded due to all the older weaker actions out there chambered in the caliber.

Good rifle in a great calibre. If you like the 708 you will love the 6.5.

I regret selling mine, and will own another one when funds allow.

Depends on the brand of ammo. Some of the European brands of ammo load their 6.5x55 for modern rifles as it is a popular cartridge there. American stuff tends to be loaded lighter as they dont use the modern rifles in that calibre and most of the 6.5s there are older. But I would also agree that reloading allows for more out of this calibre but that is no different from almost every other calibre.
