Bob the the Swede does it with alot less noise thats what I mean by FUSS.
Ive shot horse, donkeys, pigs and goats at long range and broadside penetration is a no brainer. Now I havent reloaded the Swede with modern powders but I had no trouble getting 140gr to 2920fps in a 21 inch 260rem. I got 155gr to 2800 thou I back both off a grain as I hunted in 106 F.
Ive knocked over 1000lb wild cattle at 200yds with a 260rem and a 140gr mono.
Yep the 270 does all the same and a smidge more but its noisy doing it.
and if I load up 130gr Berger VLDs 0.552 BC then I have a flat shooting round that pretty much does what a 270 does.
Ill build another 6.5x55 shortly as its my all time favourite.
Ive also run a 25/308, 250 savage previosuly and I've just built a 6lb Husky 30-06 CRF.
I say it as i see it and the 6.5 Swede is 1 of the all time greats.
