If I was in the market for a 6.5 the Swedish round would be my top choice.

Yeah, I have noticed that.

You know, despite all the advancements in bullets it still comes down to shot placement and bullet performance. You cannot kill an animal unless it is hit in the vitals and the bullet penetrates to said vitals. That is why I pay more attention to bullet construction than BC or SD.

Guess I am an old goat who is behind the times and just doesn't understand all the nuances of it all. wink
