[QUOTE="MTsmith, post: 1026195, member: 69117"] First off...You will have no problem ethically taking elk, deer (WT and Mulies), antelope or 250# hogs with your 6.5 swede with a well placed bullet. They have all gone down quickly with my swedes. Both elk that I took went less than 50 yards after the shot. As for loads, I do primarily shoot 140 gr bullets with Rel 19 and Rel 22..Both with 46 grains. In my tikka 6.5 I shoot 127 barnes lrx with 43 gr of Rel 15. I did get great grouping with 140 gr partitions and barnes vld with 42 grains of Rel 15 (pretty hot load use caution). Without much work or strain, you will find a fine shooting load for your swede. 6.5's are great. I haven't found one that won't shoot. Great caliber and great choice. If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me. I'll help if I can. [/QUOTE]
