Moose hunting in Sweden is mostly from stands, shots are usually less than 100 yards, and Swedish hunters must demonstrate ability to hit a moving moose target at 80 meters. They must account for shots taken. This sort of hunting style and discipline makes the 6.5x55mm cartridge very feasible. If you look at studies of cartridges used there, distances traveled, shots required, you see many of these moose moving 70 and 80 meters before dropping.
By contrast, spot and stalk hunting in Canada or Alaska might mean a longer shot at a moose on the edge of a wood, river or swamp.
