In the mean time...and this is no doubt due to the aging process...I just bought myself a nice little Husqvarna 1600 chambered in the ancient 6.5x55. It is in excellent condition and similar to a Husky I owned many years ago. A sweet handling little rifle that has a degree of nostalgia attached to it in my case. Good chance the deer I whack with it will not be perturbed they were not sent over the rainbow bridge by one of the newer 6.5's.

Good man! The vintage cartridge is the better anyway.

"For some reason, humans develop strong emotional relationships with, and impressions of, cartridges. They may rate the Creedmoors as nothing but cartridges for millennial snowflakes, but may trust the .308 Winchester and .300 Winchester Magnum with their life, because, well, it’s an Army thing. External ballistics is a science, not a feeling. Pick the cartridge that best suits your needs, that you can afford to shoot a lot, and that will generate a tolerable level of recoil in your rifle."
