[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1614168, member: 20333"] The Swedes and Finns do like the 6.5x55 in the Mauser for moose wth the 160 RN. The Swedish Mauser has a 1-7.5 twist barrel (in mm) and it will stabilize a 160gr RN Hornady as will a 9 or 8 twist. An 8 twist will stabalize the copper 140 spire points. Me and the Barnes’ folks had a discussion about this very thing at the Shot Show a few years ago. They advised using a 130 Barnes in a 9 twist 6.5x06, a bit light weight for an elk and most probably too light for a moose but close enough to the length of a lead core 140. Ed [/QUOTE]
