A 120gr bullet wouldn't be my first choice for moose and elk, but I did see a 130gr 6.5 bullet drop a moose like the hammer of Thor.


How long has the Swede been considered such a good hunting cartridge?

Nice Fish ! ...just another 340 fps to go to catch the Swede. Try again, but search something other than Wikipedia for your ballistic data.
