I don't have a clue which is best. I think it's a situation where there's a name distinction but no performance difference. I found a near new Ruger M77 in 6.5x55 not too long ago and have really been pleased with the round. It's very accurate with several different loads, has little recoil and muzzle blast. With the 120gr Nos.BT it shoots as flat as my 30.06 with 165gr bullets, which is not too far behind my long time favorite .270. As I get older, I'm less and less fond of hard kicking rifles so I'm using my Swede a lot. I think that if some computer nurd set about designing the perfect antelope/mule deer round, it wind up looking a lot like the 120 year old Swede.
