Thanks Rothhammer. No doubt I will soon learn for myself. Re-invent the wheel, hey? :grin

My 6.5x54 M-S only has crude open sights, so no doubt a 160 gr RN load will be more than adequate. However if the rifle was equipped for scope mounts, and I was comfortable in taking longer shots, spitzers might be desired. I expect I already know the answer. I will have a look for Kuduae's post.

In any case, as I have a 6.5x54 M-S Steyr or M-S (?), a Steyr in 6.5x53R - a military rifle with even worse open sights, but I also have a Mauser M96 in 6.5x55 and a Mauser M03 in 6.5x65mm RWS, the latter too will nicely handle spitzers.

Let the discussion continue, and more personal use comments.
