I posted this on AR, just wanted to see what you guys think(and to spark up some conversation).

6.5x55, 140gr projectile(barnes X) for game up to and including Kudu.

A few people suggested .270, but a 140gr 6.5 pill will out penitrate a 130 and 150gr pill, being of higher SD.

What about the 7x57? It was suggested in the heavy bullets, 175gr. I think the 140gr would do the same job and a bit quicker to boot.

If the Sweede is considered suitable for moose in some countries, why is it frowned upon for Africa? It will kill the smaller antelope (impala,etc)will kill warthog, after all they're only pigs and I've used this calibre to kill lots of local pigs up to 100kg, I've also used it on donkeys, which I think would be the size of wildebeest?

What are your thoughts
