[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1513435, member: 96226"] They're not even really on the same planet if you pick the right powder. There's 10+ grains of powder capacity advantage on the Swede. My coach and I shoot a R700 chambered in 6.5x55 in metallic silhouette competition. We're running 140's over 2900fps without pressure signs. 2700fps is starting to get really stout with 140gn class in a 6.5CM. 2900+/- for 140gn class bullets in a modern rifle loaded to modern pressures for 6.5x55mm. RL-26, N165 and similar super slow burning magnum rifle powders turn in the best velocities. Go to an Ackley chamber and you're starting to see the performance of a belted magnum. [/QUOTE]
