I can't access that page but obviously if the swede is bigger it could be loaded up a bit more. I have yet to find a new rifle in the gun shop that is as smooth as an old swede. The new technology and QC on hole has so much more potential today but labour costs really kybosh so much potential...

greywolf, Those triple motors are just the best for real world riding aren't they. I measured a 6.5 swede today and it didn't jive with any numbers I've seen online. It really is annoying how much variance there is in this field. I can see that it takes a while to accumulate a correct mental...

Greyfox That is what I figured about the magnum stuff, but the odd time there is a legitimate reason why two seemingly same things have different performances. I was heavily involved in motorcycle repliracers for years and like shooting it seems, the old guard, not all mind you, seem to get...

Benchracer the reason I mentioned the swede is because I was under the impression that it was a smaller cartridge than the creedmoor. I assumed that because when I look at velocity tables for both with the same weight bullet the swede is a lot less. Looking into your post comments I double...

I looked into that stuff and you are dead right. As yet I don't really know what would be the right avenue to take but I think I am going to at least stay with the 6.5 family as an entry point in whatever case style. Even if I pick up a swedish mauser for cheap and skope it I can have a lot of...

I'm new to shooting, (targets only,) and I needs some myths addressed and some other info. -I constantly read that the 6.5x284 burns barrels/throats quickly. Don't the other large capacity cartridges like 300 win mags or other large 7mm's do the same? -As near as I can tell the 284 seems to...
