Hello moosenuggets,
Don't be hesitant to take your 6.5x55 on a moose hunt. I got my moose in Northern Ontario last year with mine. The Sierra 160gr. SPSP (round nose to me) in front of VV550 39.2grs. gives me 2400fps velocity, and really messes up the old boiler room. It's a pretty accurate load in my rifle, .796" (5 at 100yds.) and runs counter to the twist rate vs bullet weight thinking. I've heard bullet shape and configuration offset the twist rate to some degree. Maybe this is an example of that. I'm not sure, but it works. Best wishes.
