The 6.5mm JDJ is a high-performance, wildcat rifle cartridge developed by J.D. Jones of SSK Industries. This cartridge is based on the .225 Winchester case, which is necked up to accommodate a 6.5mm bullet. It was designed for use in single-shot rifles and specialty pistols, offering high velocity and improved ballistic performance for long-range shooting and hunting.
The 6.5mm JDJ is known for its flat trajectory and high energy retention, making it suitable for medium to large game hunting, including deer and antelope, at extended ranges. The cartridge's efficiency in handloading and ballistic versatility have made it a popular choice among custom firearm enthusiasts and precision shooters.
In summary, the 6.5mm JDJ is valued for its accuracy, long-range capability, and suitability for hunting larger game animals.
