6.5 x 55 Swede for African plains game

If anyone has used the Sako 140 grain 6.5x55 Super Hammerhead on game I'd like to know how they did. I have 7 boxes for my son but we have not been able to use them on a hunt, all the adds and YouTube videos look good but firsthand reviews on actual game are always the best.

Looks like a... hammer.

Bonded core, and an even thicker jacket than my current production cup-n-core Speer Grand Slams... which generally flatten most things.

Should be a nice round for big game.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
