I guess it’s what ever floats someone’s boat. But I wonder how much research old mate did when he can’t even get the calibre right! Really a 6.5x54R becomes a 6.5x54 Remington in his little world

whoops

Plus I would have kept it in that cool old calibre. But he says .308 is “more acceptable”, really! Nothing wrong with the .308 but a 6.5x54R is more than acceptable in most of the circles I frequent
