Is anyone using heavy bullets in the 6.5 Swede, like the 160 Hornady and the 156 Lapua? I have both and am considering loading one of them for deer hunting here in the Northeast where heavy round nose bullets have always been the bullets to use. It just seems to me that the Swede was meant for such bullets.
A friend has a Model 70 Featherweight in 6.5 Swede. He only shoots 160 grain Hornady bullets and has had very good success on deer using them. Mule Deer doesn't share that love for the 160 Hornady, however.
Has anyone tried the 156 grain Lapua on game? Results?
