For longer range shooting I use a 260 Ackley. This blows out the case and sharpens the shoulder angle, for more case capacity. capacity is about the same as the Swede.
The problem with the 6.5s is that ideally you want to shoot a 140 gr bullet and chamber the rifle so you can seat the bullet out a fair bit, so as to not use up powder capacity. This makes the bullet too long for a magazine.
My target rifle launches 140s at about 2900 fps.
