I was in the Holland and Holland gunroom 25 or more years ago and this new Scottish law was about to come into effect. I was looking at a couple of 6,5x54 Mannlicher's but they expected others would soon become available. They made the point, a very fair one I think, that the 6,5 Mannlicher had probably shot more red deer in Scottland than any other except perhaps the venerable .303 British. It had also accounted for probably every game animal on Earth. So it is a very silly law.
Could you explain what the new Scottish game law is? Had a look through the thread and couldn't see a reference to it, but may have missed one?
I am guessing the 6.5mm will no longer be legal for red stag in Scotland? If so, a similar stupid law exists in Victoria where a 2" case, .270 and 130 gr is the minimum legal calibre for red deer. (unless I have completely forgotten it).
Would appreciate comments on the new Scots laws. Thanks.
