Re: 6.5x55 or .270 Win

In reply to:
I am looking for a light rifle for use on open-plains / mountains after deer sized game, and reindeer. The 6.5x55 as well as .270 are both classic, and I prefer 150-160 grs bullet weight.
Is the 6.5x55 to light for African game (Thompson gazelle etc)??
The .270 with 160 particians will do anything in plains game you need to do. Either of these two cartridges can be improved upon with a .300 Mag but of the two.....the .270 works for me.
