[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 553659, member: 19129"] I'm partial to the 6.5x55. You mentioned shooting steel and paper and the Swede doesn't have the barrel burning reputation of the 6.5-284, so longer barrel life. A lot of your benchrest types end up down loading there 6.5-284s to velocities that are easily attainable with the Swede anyways. Lapua brass is readily available and cheaper than most other calibers. There is even an Ackleyized version that will get you well into the 6.5-284's velocity. PT&G makes a piloted reamer that has optimized throating for the 130-140grn Secant Ogive VLD bullets-6.5x55 Match. [/QUOTE]
