Thread: 6.5x55??

Bear in mind too that the original design (1890's) was for a long, heavy bullet so had a relatively fast twist rate, and here we are 130 years later, all these new cartridges for long-for calibre high BC bullets with fast twist rate barrels to stabilise them, the Swede was already there... I believe the Tikkas have 1:8 twist, so good for wide variety of projectiles. I don't have one, and can't justify another rifle, but it would definitely be up there on my list.
