What caliber would best suit my needs?

[Cal Sibley]

I think my 30 caliber days ended with the purchase of a 6.5x55.
Mine is a Remington Classic and shoots everything from 85 to 160grs., and accurately at that. it's not a heavy kicker, and you won't need to tote around a 10 lb. rifle. I don't know why it took so many years for me to latch onto a 6.5x55, just a slow learner I guess. Best wishes.
