BTW I feel the reason the Swedish 6.5x55 is more successful than the 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer is the 55 shoots the 100 to 140 grain projectiles so much better. With the M-S rifles often preferring the heavier 156 to 160 gr round nose projectiles.

What do people think?

Plus of course ammo and brass being available.

The recent 6.5 fad is a long-range fad.
Long range wants longer, higher BC bullets, which want fast twist barrels.
The best brass is the Lapua brass, and many top competitors highly consider the Lapua catalog offerings when they choose their cartridge.
