[QUOTE="Trogon, post: 2243451, member: 119016"] I've been looking through the Hammer Bullet website, and the forum here for Hammer bullets reloading data for 6.5x55 mm Swede to target appropriate bullet weights for both of these rifles, below are the spec's for each. Ruger No. 1 International: 20" barrel, 1 in 8" twist Sauer 100 XT Classic: 22" barrel, 1 in 8.75" twist I'm using the Ruger No. 1 for woods hunting, shooting at the furthest distance would be 100 yards on the property I hunt for whitetails. Swapped this rifle on days with the Ruger Hawkeye African 9.3x62mm, which brought down my buck. I'm thinking the Hammer Shock Hammer 117 gr is a good choice. The Sauer 100 will go with me for pronghorn next year for longer shots out West, I've looked at the Hammer Hammer Hunter 110 gr. Any recommendations and advice on these choices are appreciated. I have some selection on powders I've picked up and would appreciate advice of what to consider. [/QUOTE]
