75 vmax, meet 85 hollowpoint .264.
and if the .25-06 gets a TSX, put one of those in the swede, and can go heavier.

john, the data printed for the swede is archaic and includes a large "pad" of safety for the old actions.
i have a swede built on a m98 action and shoot it at modern pressures and it will do much much more than most imagine. it will fling a 120 as fast as a .270 will throw a 130, given same pressure and barrel length.

.25, .26, or .27, they're close enough to be in the same class...
the 6.5 is a cool old round, but has NO advantage over others of it's class with bigger motors... on either end of the spectrum...
if a guy wants something, he just wants it... reason enough for him to acquire it, if he's able...
the -06 based cartridges mentioned above DO have distinct ballistic advantages...
i'm guessing that the OP is well aware of what each cartridge will do... my first post advising the 25-06 was based on convenience and availability of components...
i avoided the ballistic superiority of the cartridge intentionally, as it's not truly germane to the choice, for the stated purposes...
i do have a bit of difficulty letting bullshit ride, though... and any claimed ballistic advantage for the swede is just that...

john, that's true with the mild loadings. load them to the same pressures and watch the swede beat on the .25-06 after 300 yards of being basically the same. come on...

you may have to do some homework, most ballistics websites have only the data listed for the mild loads. try norma's website maybe.
i have to admit to being a little annoyed with the "bullshit" label, i could have thrown that out about you but chose to listen respectfully.

ok, hodgdon's website says IMR4831. 48.5 grains, 120 grain bullet, 2913 fps.
so we're within 100 fps of a .270 with the same length barrel and 130 grain bullet.
the .270 is listed at 130 grain bullet at 3085 at the fastest. this is non-TSX for both.

rephrase. the .264" bullet is a tiny bit better at very long ranges. wasn't saying there is some huge difference, thought we were doing theory here.  and i posted loads from hodgdon above your last post.

Make him happy, mjbgalt -- get one chambered in 6.5-06, and then his arguement goes away.

Sell the Harley, buy a Moto Guzzi...3x the bike for 1/2 the cost...and keep all the rifles.
Yes, I own a 25/06, rifles with Douglas barrels, and a Moto Guzzi (it has been in 30+ states...). But, I don't have a wife... +1
