    I have never ever not come across one brand of 6.5 swede ammo in my travels of this great country. the cheap stuff is usually slow as F, Even federal blue box ends up around 2400 fps. Still kills...

    Yeah I must admit after owning and shooting a few unicorn cals, it is nice to know I can buy a box of ammo here and there if needed. Still seems to be the odd box of swede around but no 260.6.5 creed...

    If you're reloading with a modern rifle then 6.5 SE has the largest case capacity compared with 260 or creedmoor. I'd probably go with the creedmoor. Easier to find premium ammo with decent...

    Believe me the 6.5*55 with either 143gn ELDX or Sierra 140gn sbt is extremely accurate. Ask the Hunter class shooters out to 600yds at Te Puke. Schultz and Larsen.

    In the same boat here, been tossing up between 260, 6.5x55 and 6.5 Creedmoor for months. Leaning towards the 6.5x55. Let us know how you get on.

    6.5 x 55 swede, tikka, in a chassis. 805 yards 2nd round (fucked the calc.. Was 1in low....) hit on 12in plate, and 3rd..... Tikka just works. Remington you buy then add/replace to make it work.

    My one really likes the 215gr Woodleigh round nose. Tight groups of about 50mm at 300m but a lot of fall on the slow 2076fps load...... Man does it hit em hard.....

    Had an enjoyable evening fishing in that wee lake many moons ago. Was just like you said small browns which we released. Seen bigger gold fish.
