[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 899254, member: 69478"] Don't get me wrong, the Swede is a great shell. I'm confused to whether or not the O.P. already has a 6.5x55 or a .260 after rereading his post. If he's got reloading supplies and equipment for either cartridge I'd choose that one. Both are pretty much ballistic twins, just that a .260 is a short action and a 6.5 Swede a long action, other than that everything is about the same. There isn't much difference between a #4 contour and #5 contour just that a #5 is about .700 and a #4 is like .650. I said a #5 because its nearly in the middle compared to a standard barrel and a heavy 5R barrel. Also, I'd go with a 26" barrel like benchracer used, gives you that extra 1imch for those slower powders to work with. Other than that I think you're on the right track! [/QUOTE]
