[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1240781, member: 84520"] When I was young and knew everything there was to know about everything, I sure as heck lacked knowledge of important stuff. It wasn't until I got in to hand loading that I figured out importance of sectional density. 6.5MM bullets have excellent sectional densities. A 140 grain 6.5MM bullet will penetrate the heck outta any North American big game animal. To be honest, I don't have skills to become a long range anything. I live is the most gun-hostile state in the country, which is why I refuse to patronize California with hunting license and tag fees. I have to drive about 150 miles or more, round trip, just to get to a rifle range. Were I inclined to give long range anything a shot, I'd have to dedicate a whole lot of hours every month to get comfortable shooting at long range, and I'd have to stay at it to keep -prayerfully- acquired long range skills honed. With full disclosure out of the way, I would like to own a 6.5MM Swede. It would be compatible with my skill set. Years ago, I watched a TV program about long range competition shooting. The competitors had fortunes invested in their sport. And they were fiercely competitive. I think long range shooting ought to become an Olympic sport. I'm sure this hero would love to compete in Olympic long range shooting: [url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/hero-sas-sniper-killed-four-8811902]Hero SAS sniper 'killed FOUR ISIS terrorists with single bullet as they prepared to execute hostages with flamethrower' - Mirror Online[/url] I would think the the 26 Nosler would hold its own when it comes to long range shooting.
