I am looking for impressions on both, .270 win and 6.5x55 swedish.
I have noticed a LOT of used, in excellent condition .270 win cal rifles around here for sale at reasonable prices. There are several Win model 70's on the rack at 2 of the shops I have been to here lately. I have gathered that the round must be quite good, but I have never shot one, and know nobody who has one. There are no ranges around that rent anything really, and that's sad.
So what are they like? Recoil? Round performance?
I don't plan on hunting with it as of right now, but if I did, it would be Iowa deer, or perhaps hog if I take a trip down south. Other than that, I just like to have choices, and ammo is widely available for this cal.
My other questions are similar, about the 6.5x55mm swedish round,
I won't hunt anything but paper with this, but I understand it's a military round, and available in some surplus rifles. I happen to love C&R firearms, and am about to file for my C&R license soon. I just want to know what to expect from this.
I see many well seasoned shooters here, with a wide variety of experiences, so I'm asking the questions here.
Thanks all,
Dustin
