    Default Hi all

    Hi All

    New member from the highveld here. Thanks for the join. I’m a keen hunter and hunt mainly with 6.5x55 , 9,3x62 and 404Jeff. I reload for those calibres and a few others too (308, 243, 375 H&H) and so between hunting and reloading I have little time or money left but am very satisfied 😊!

    Appreciate being part of such an informative forum.

    Willkommen ! from the German part of Texas.

    I too have been using 6.5 for many years.

    Our terrain is very similar to your hochveldt but our game isn't as large as yours.

    Thanks Krieger

    It’s a lovely calibre I find. It’s accurate, has gentle recoil and good in the bush and plains if you don’t get too excited about what it can do. I have loaded 143 eldxs and while they are excellent at longer range, at shorter range they tend to expand more and not always leave a blood trail given the small entrance and no exit.

    Ive used the 156gr oryx in the bush quite a lot and it’s a great bullet for medium game in my experience. I have some Swift Aframe in 140 and the 160 interlock which also perform well in the bush. Great to be on the forum
