[QUOTE="tacpgus, post: 974981, member: 73396"] I bought a Model 70, 6.5X55 in 2005. It has a long action. Except for man-eating bears, which I reserve my 375H&H for, I have used it for Alaska moose and caribou. All factory ammo has performed well out to 200yds, beyond that Norma. I reload using IMR4064 and Berger VLDs, which gives me good consistency out to 600yds. I need a bigger range to go further. One nice thing about the Swede is that I have usually found factory ammo when the the shelves are mostly bare. -- Magic Pixie dust indeed! the Swede and odd 6 were done right 100+ years ago. The infamous Carcano comes in a 6.5 also... I suspect anyone who has ever shot one would find it hard to believe that Oswald acted alone, lol. [/QUOTE]
