[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 244395, member: 10178"] I don't know which action that the Tikka T3 uses but a 6.5X55 Swede will not work through a short action like a Rem. 700 but the 260 will. The 6.5 Swede in a modern rifle with worked up to loads will out perform the 260. If you were going to be building a rifle you should go with a longer barrel (28 to 30 inch) and the 6.5 Swede will smoke. I have a sporterized 96 Swede Mauser that has the 29 inch barrel and with safe loads under 45,000 cup pressure that long barrel gives 3000 fps with a 120 Nosler BT and 2850 fps with 140 gr bullets with glent edge accuracy. I just picked up a Rem 700 actioned 27 3/4 inch Douglas barreled 264 Win Mag but have not shot it yet. I am waiting on scope rings that should be here today. I am chomping at the bit to see how fast it will drive a 120 Nosler BT. [/QUOTE]
