[QUOTE="436, post: 2439549, member: 16609"] I pretty much agree, I love the 6.5x55 Swede I have as a do-all 6.5 it's hard to beat, it just doesn't get the love it should. my rifle is an M96 with Swedish Mauser target with diopter sights, it is amazing out to 1k, I also have the micro-target sights on the flip-up military sights for target shooting that are faster like movers, as a game rifle, just for kicks, nothing ever walked away from it. For hunting, mine likes the old Sierra 160gr round nose SP which I don't think they make anymore, but... I was smart enough to buy deep when I picked them up many years ago. Long-range; just grab a high B.C and you're in business, whatever is shooting well in the other 6.5mm's will shoot great in the 6.5x55mm Swede. I also own and shoot the Swede K31 in 7.5x55mm which gives up nothing to .30 calibers in its class. The Swede 55mm case is a fine wildcatting case as well. Just remember everything old is new again and so forth. Just my 0.2 in the conversation of 6.5s Cheers. [ATTACH type="full"]340248[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]340249[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
