[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1303276, member: 48608"] My wife and I have both used the 6.5 Swede to cleanly take animals from pronghorn to plains game in Africa. She has been using the 120 Swift A Frame and limits herself to shots user 300 and a vast majority of her animals were taken under 200 yards. I've been using the 130 Berger VLD Hunting loads in the Swede for both hunting and long range steel. My loads run 2875 FPS. Not fast, but very accurate and effective on the range to 1200 yards. Accuracy is in the .2 to .3 for groups. It has been very effective on everything I've ever shot with them. In New Zealand last year I did use my 6.5 Creedmoor with the Hornaday ELD X bullets (factory load). Speeds were right at factory specs. Performed very effectively on chamois and tahr. Both clean first shot kills at 225 and 285 respectively. I did shoot the ELD X loads on the outfitters range to 660 yards and they were pretty impressive for factory fodder. 3" groups on the steel targets from prone. I can highly recommend either of these from my experience with them in the field. [/QUOTE]
