paddockpower 2 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi can any one help at the moment I have a. 243 win and are looking to trade in for some think that I can use for fox and deer over here in England and some thing that I can use in France for wild boar shooting I have been told a 6.5 x 55 rifle will do the job is this correct?? I have also been told you can not use military rounds for shooting boar in France is a 6.5 x 55 round a military round?? Quote Link to post

PlasticJock 539 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's not a military round but will do for fox and deer. Not sure about boar though. Quote Link to post

The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 From what i have read it will do the job and I have heard the same thing about non military calibre rifles in France, IMO you will need to check this restriction out fully as the 6.5 x55 is a military round designed for the Swedish and Norwegian armies in the 1890's, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5×55mm Quote Link to post
