  • The 6.5 x 50 R is a classic centerfire rifle cartridge that has been around since the late 19th century. Originally designed to be used in Austrian Mannlicher rifles and carbines, this round has become popular for its accuracy and mild recoil as well as being able to fit into an array of firearms from hunting rifles or bolt actions to lever actions. This guide will provide you with an overview of the 6.5 x 50 R cartridge, its capabilities, and the different types available so you can make an informed decision when considering whether or not it’s right for your needs.First off, the 6.5 x 50 R has proven itself to be incredibly reliable shooting both light varmint rounds and heavy hunting bullets due to its impressive design that allows it to fit into many different types of firearms without sacrificing any performance or reliability. On top of this, this caliber also has low muzzle velocity with its lighter 70 grain bullets allowing it to have minimal recoil when shooting from lightweight weapons while still having enough power to be used on medium game animals like deer or antelope at close ranges.When it comes to performance, the 6.5 x 50 R is widely praised for its accuracy thanks in part to its high ballistic coefficient bullets which allow it maintain excellent trajectory even at longer distances making it a great choice for target shooters who want precise shot placement and less wind drift while avoiding expensive magnum loads that can be punishingly loud and hard on recoil sensitive shooters as well as their wallet!In terms of availability, there are plenty of different types available on the market today ranging from classic lead core bullets such as Remington Core-Lokt Ammunition or Federal Power Shok Soft Point Rounds all the way up conventional jacketed options like Norma Precision Ammunition or Hornady Varmint Express Ammunition for those looking for something heavier duty capable of taking down larger game animals without any trouble whatsoever!
