    L.R Rifle

    i am looking for a longrange rifle, but don't want to go down the magnum road, i shoot mainly reds and am looking for a rifle to shoot out to about 700m, there is quite a bit being written lately about the 6.5x55, what is it about this calibre that makes it a good L.R rifle, is it a good choice to start with? is there another calibre that would be better suited?
    cheers Hunty.
