Interestingly none of the articles ever mention the 6.5x53R Mannlicher which was the round that not only started all the 6.5's but was also the absolute go-to cartridges at the turn of the century. If you read any literature written at that time the praise and wonderment heaped on the Mannlicher cartridge was no different to what is written about all these modern 6.5 cartridges, especially about its incredible penetration and killing power as well as the amazing velocity of 2400fps and how flat shooting it was, especially when compared to the other cartridges of the time. Incredible penetration and killing power. The craze of that cartridge in 1900 was no different to the 6.5 Creedmoor today.

Matt.




The power of the 6.5 is very real..

I have taken several elk with my 264W Mag.. all one shot kills .. from 300 to 550 yards.. granted they don't go immediately numb like they do when hit by a 200gr 30 cal bullet.. but, as they say, dead is dead...
