;D skoger,

I built one of these 6.5 Swede's about 2 years ago with a Shilen barrel. It shoots 140gr. Berger VLD's into one ragged hole at 100 yards and the 120gr. Barnes triple-X's will do the same. Both loaded over RL-22.

The round and the gun are both just plain awesome! I quit loading my .308!! In fact, I turned my Stevens .308 into a .17 Fireball.

You'll love it!!
