I am looking for a new deer rifle. I have a 30-30 now but would like to reach out a little further ( 250 yds. ) . The 6.5x55 Swede and 7mm-08 are at the top of my list. I just started reloading for pistols.
I already know that it does not make any difference, they both will do the job and one has a longer action than the other.
From what I have read the 6.5 has a great reputation for taking game as large as moose. But it looks like it will be harder to find than a 7mm-08, because not everyone makes it.
Which one would you pick and why ?
