[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1222260, member: 1521"] In general, a larger capacity cartridge would need more powder to match a smaller cartridge. The larger case is simply less confining for a given amount of powder. But, you can put more powder in the larger case. More, slower powder, for heavier bullets. It all begins with a bullet. If you were to compare the two with 123gr bullets, the 260 would win. For 140gr bullets the swede wins. Don't get too caught up in factory loads, or in manual suggested. Ask around (as you are) & review loads over at reloaders nest: [url=http://reloadersnest.com/frontpage.asp?CaliberID=120]6.5x55 Mauser @ www.reloadersnest.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
