[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 701464, member: 10832"] Most all book recipes for the Swede are way under pressure for what a modern action can withstand. This is due to all the old actions that have been around for ages. If you load the Swede to modern specs and pressures it will outperform the 160 and Crede by a decent enough margin to be a better choice IMO. Additionally, to get the most out of the high BC 6.5's you will want a long action. The high BC LR bullets are very long and the long action will be worth the extra carry weight and length IMO. The Swede loaded to modern pressures is just about the perfect 6.5 cartridge IMO. Great legacy and about the perfect combination of barrel life and killing power. If I need more killing power I will likely be shooting elk or big predators in which case I will be choosing a 30 or 338 anyway. The Swede is an awesome mule deer and under cartridge out to a 1/2 mile or so. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
