FWIW, the "puny little" 45 Colt shooting heavy, hard cast bullets easily out-penetrates the Swede. Have and use both, and it's no secret. Obviously the Swede is easier to use properly at 200 yards however. Again, it's not whether the 6.5 can "do" a moose; the 223 is well proven. That doesn't make either as good as something a bit bigger.
