great video, I have been shooting my sporterized Swede since 92. I had found that the PPU 139sp and especially the 144 PMC FMJ would consistently provide 1/2 moa at 200 yards. After endless and continual research,( I had found an article in a field and stream? many years ago where a writer took out his 7mm rem mag, 6.5x55 and 270 for a test. 100 yards a shade over moa for three round groups , however, he found that the groups 'shrunk' at 200 yards. Interpretation, due to the high BC /longer bullet the bullet's gyro rotation 'goes to sleep' beyond the 100 yard mark providing sub moa at the 200 range and beyond). My sporter swede with the twist rate for the 156 would provide 1.25-1.5 at 100 yards. I have yet to have someone shoot it off sandbags; they have to know how to shoot, not acquire sub moa groups at 200. Off of makeshift sandbags and the original two stage military trigger. 1908 action, Swedes probably put a new barrel on it Way before it made it to the US. And No I did not chop down a Swede, thank heavens. I really love sitting next to my buddy with a 'FIX' rifle, match 6.5 creed moor with his ridiculously expensive ZEISS extreme range scope shoot the same groups as my drop in stock european walnut original swede action, trigger and barrel. Heaven knows how many rounds that barrel has thru it before I got it.

This particular rifle has 1:8 twist. I bought it because I really like the factory Ruger iron sights. Without question the most accurate rifle I have ever owed.

Shot .303 at school (and hated those bloody shoulder-busting things with their steel-capped butts). Fifty years into the sport. Thirty with a .308 and the last twenty with a Sako 6.5x55. That Sako is the best change I ever made. Guys hate to admit it, but flinching is the big enemy. The 6.5x55 is an absolute pussycat - no 'kick' to speak of - just a slow 'push'. The bullets go to where I point, although that part is slightly less predictable at my age. In twenty years I've never lost an animal, and I've never had a flier using store-bought rounds. I cannot recommend the 6.5x55 too highly, although I would suggest a modern action. Early 20th Cent. poor/working-class men in Britain were small and thin, and it was they who filled the lower rank lines of infantry. In the early 1900s the British War Office should have copied the Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 instead of supplying the Lee Enfield .303 which many young/small/under-nourished men found too hot to handle. The Swede would have offered a more accurate rifle that the men would have been happy to shoot all day. As a sniper round, I suggest it would have been profoundly better than the .303.

I've been shooting my grandfathers old hunting rifle (Valmet Leijona) with over 6,5 x 55mm and under 12/70 barrels. It's a really good gun and a straight shooter. Havent't tried big game (moose, deer etc) with it, cause not confident enough with iron sights to do so and you only have that one bullet (which is plenty enough when you know what you are doing). But I think it would be stupid of me to try.. Maybe I'll find some old Carl Gustaf rifle one day for moose hunting.

Are you using an actual Swedish Mauser? The Swedish Mausers were known for having a particular barrel rifling twist that affected their accuracy positively.

I’ve got a obendorf 96 it shoots tighter groups then my .222 rem Mohawk and the Mohawk shoots a cloverleaf at 200yards off the bench so if that ain’t proof of accuracy I don’t know what is I hand load for both rifles

Thanks for posting…. It would have been interesting to compare a modern swede rifle with the creedmoor….. a modern sako 85 for example.

The 6.5 x 55 burns all the powder within a fairly short distance. At 28" it stops gaining velocity. The rifling at the muzzle was worn prior to shortening, it was grouping over 2"; I gained accuracy by shortening. Many people have done this with the model 96 The original 29 1/2 " barrel is unnecessary with modern loads, shortening doesn't change the twist rate. The 29 1/2" length was designed for 162 grain round nose bullets and faster powders of the late 1800's and early 1900's

Old European caliber rifles are just as good as the new American caliber guns amazing how hunters could harvest game at short distances long before these bean field rifles showed up

Never understood a reason to improve the Swede 6.5mm. Not even an Ackley improved. The good old Swede gives us a game gun that's also an excellent paper puncher.

I think it's just you, I looked at all the other comments and nobody else mentioned it.

Your accuracy test does not tell anything to anyone to determine which is more accurate. Different brands of ammo, etc. My Remington 700 Classic shoot one hole groups consistently with my handloads. All what Creedmore is, is a 260 Remington with mascara and lipstic. 6.5 Swede loaded to modern pressures is better than Creedmore

You're right, next time I will compare my 6.5 Creedmoor Browning with my 6.5 Creedmoor Howa ACP with all the exact same ammo. Or maybe the point was that a $200, 100-year-old gun, chambered in 135-year-old cartridge; is comparable in accuracy and as suitable for hunting as a new Browning in the overrated but very popular 6.5 Creedmoor chambering.

2 different rifles made a century apart with 2 different types of ammo....ya im sure that's a very scientific test.

Something tells me that you make more negative comments on other people's videos, then content of your own. What do you mean by 2 different types of ammo? Federal 140 grain soft point hunting rounds not close enough? The whole idea of the video was to compare a hundred + year-old gun, shooting a 120 + year old cartridge with a new modern rifle shooting a popular "modern cartridge"

@@Wheelchair-bear then call it that. Call it a comparison of two vastly different rifles and not 2 calibers. Comparing the calibers would need all other variables to be as close to the same as possible. And no, i dont make videos. But if thats how we judge character and knowledge in this day and age we are all doomed.

I also look forward to watching some of your content, its obviously much better than my videos with confusing titles.
