Thanks
I am not sure about the quantity of available off the shelve ammo for 6.5 cartridges, as I don't have one. So I am not "in the know". But what I know is ammo for the 270, 308, 30-06 and 7mm rem mag is more available most likely with more options.

Its not only about having ammo readily available, its more about have a lot of ammo available to see what you gun likes best.

Try this link may help you decide http://www.chuckhawks.com/all_around_cartridges.htm. The 4 recommended cartridges may be "boring" or "plain jane" but they work.
