RE: New Tikka T3, which Caliber?
I hunt just north of the twin cities about 2 miles north of 95 so we are rifle legal. I hunt mostly in the woods, however around a swamp as well. Don' t really expect a shot much farther than 100-150 yds. The brush isn' t quite as thick as it is up north of Brainerd. Has anyone heard of the 6.5X55 swedish? The gun manager at Joe' s sporting goods really likes this cartridge. Said it was about as good of a whitail cartridge as you can find. I guess it is between the .270 and 6.5 x 55 sweed. He said the sweed is a very simular cartridge to the .260 Rem. Only about 100 feet slower.
