Best bullets for 6.5 swedish long range

OP - If you are shooting a standard m96 with iron sights, I would hazard a guess that you need not be too concerned about bullet quality (ie match grade). Simply put, the controlling factor for group size is the shooter/sights. Your gun has a relatively long throat, suggest you try plain old flat base Hornady 140 g SP Interlock with H4350 powder.

If a 139g Scenar won't shoot in your rifle, I'd be checking the bore
Like everyone has said there are lots of good choices. It will likely come down more to availability and pricing
Let us know what you try and how they shoot

I think I used 140gr out at 800 yds. Seemed to do the job.
Needs more glass. 10 x is about the minimum.
It's a floated, bedded unit with a Timney and aftermarket stock.
One of Dad's buddies did it for him long before 6.5's were the flavor of the day.
Shooting at an Idiot Cube ( small square bail ) sized white rock about where the Hill goes from gold to green. Used a drone to range and record.
Have a great day. Happy shooting
