I'm about to sell a 6.5x55 for a .30-06.
My main reason is I've fallen in love with .38/.357 and all the stuff you can do with it. Granted, .38 will do the trick MOST of the time, but I like the .357 to be able to handle the heavy stuff sometimes too.
Potentially a silly question, but am I wrong in thinking that for the BEST reloading versatility, while avoiding serious recoil (.45-70), I'd be best going with .30-06? Or can you do .30-06 work with a 6.5x55? I know the 6.5 can keep up with the .30-06 in MOST cases, but something tells me the .30-06 edges it out when you push both to the limits.
