Hi all, have a 223 at the moment and considering getting a 22-250/243/25-06. Basically want something that will reach further, have less wind drift and flatter shooting. Want to try a different calibre anyway. Might want it for deer at a later stage but please disregard that yet as a requirement. Would like to hear…

Hi Tac, on real surprise ...the Norma 120 with the nosler heads are (IMO) the best ammo out there for the 6.5x55 .Excellent accuracy and great round for deer and foxes .
Regards ,Tomcat.

Sadly, here in yUK, if a representative of the PTB had seen me handling that ammunition I might have ended up in a world of pain and poverty.

As a target shooter I am prohibited in law from possessing any expanding or fragmenting ammunition - even components. The law is quite clear and poseesion means that there is no possible defence. The courts can serve you a five-year jail sentence for committing such a horrendous and calamitous crime. :rolleyes:

I wish my 1898 m/96 Carl Gustaf shot as well as that. No, make it, twice as well as that. My best homeloads are still hovering around 1.5 inches, albeit with a peep sight fitted. Must be my old eyeballs and the nut behind the butt...
