6.5x55 Swede
I have a 1909 Swede in wonderful shape, that shoots like a house a fire with hand load 140 grainers. I really love this caliber and the bullet length is like shooting a drill rod, these babies are hard to stop. My problem is I want a rifle in this caliber that is a bit easier to carry. This honey has a 29 inch tube, full stock and weighs over 9lbs. Should I sacrfice a great battle rifle for a custom sporter or try and find a current rifle in this caliber (not aware of any)?
