I'm Sorta Torn - 6.5x55 or 25.06

[ratherbefishin]

the nice thing [and possably overlooked] about the swedes is not only the very efficient high sectional density bullet and inherent accuracy-but the very moderate recoil-the average guy tends to shoot better with lower vs higher recoil rifles.We can talk all we want about ''minute of angle'' capabilities-but as my dad told me about 40 years ago when I asked him if a certain caliber rifle would kill a deer-to which he replied-''sure-if you hold it straight''.Even the 9,3x57 swede I acquired has a very moderate recoil-with a 286 gr privipartizan

simple 6.5 with 140's

So what twist rate would be best suited for accurately shooting both 100grain and 160grain projectiles?

I keep flip flopping.....now I'm considering a 7mmRM 25.06 is out of the equation, the Swede is still the front runner.
