I was facing a similar dilemma a few years ago and had a long action rem 700 receiver laying a round so decided to do a 6.5x55 and had the chamber throated for modern 120/140 grain bullets without the usual massive freebore it’s been a great cartridge for me especially as a hadloader however if I was shooting factory ammo I’d likely go with the 6.5 creed or PRC.
