[QUOTE="Loner, post: 438759, member: 24560"] Check speers manual with reloader 22. They list two different sections for the 6.5x55. One for the old Mausers at lower pressures and one for the newer actions. 3000 fps is a little unrealistic but you can get close. (2850) It will easily push to 1300 yards supersonic at reasonable pressures. 6.5 bullets offerings are really long. Look at some of the 160's out there as well. Lapua brass is available for the Swede as well. It is the correct base diameter and not the fubarred stuff win. and rem. shove upon us. The 6.5x.284 is the fastest of the crowd but is a known barrel burner. The 260 is not going to accept in a magazine the long heavy vld's in a short action anyway so I would stay with the versatility of a Swede in a 1:7 or 1:7.5 twist. If you keep your speeds down at 2800 you will see 3000 to 4000 rounds of barrel life. If you can afford it go with a 6.5-06 and you'll get your 3100 fps and 1800 yards supersonic. Have fun buying barrels though. [/QUOTE]
