[QUOTE="riflebuilder, post: 690178, member: 10580"] I have a custom MRC with a 26" fluted barrel that shoots 1/2" groups with 130g accubonds mz velocity is 3000 fps with 44.4g Varget. My older 6.5 loved 120g bullets but this one likes the 130-140g bullets better. Swedes are a sweet caliber and kill like lightning. In a modern rifle you can get the performance the round is capable of. It is a better round than the 260 Rem, 6.5 Credemore or the 6.5x47 Lapua. I routinely get over 3100 fps with Barnes 120 XBT's. The best powder for speed and accuracy in my 6.5 has been Varget. I have tried Reloader 19, 22, IMR 4831, 4350 and Win760 but I keep coming back to the Varget. All things considered it is a great round in a modern rifle. [/QUOTE]
