Summary

Vortex’s Jimmy Jordan tags in with Ryan Muckenhirn for this cartridge talk on the extremely capable 6.5 Swedish. Jimmy was the first person to bring this cartridge to my, (Mark B’s) attention many years ago…And is the only person I know to own one. Frankly, when he mentioned it, I thought it sounded French – which doesn’t make sese at all. What does make sense are its numbers on paper, its performance on game in the field, and rabid following seemingly everywhere but the US – possibly because we just weren’t ready for metric 6.5’s back then. But we are today. Listen in to hear all about this fine example of European cartridge engineering.

What is up everybody? We've got a pretty full house today. I've got Jim H to my right. We've

0:08.7

got Jim or Jimmy Jordan or Jimmy J across from us, the Ryan Muck and her. We got 10 minutes

0:14.9

to do a cartridge talk. Now this is a, this is a listener request. This one comes from

0:18.9

Sergeant DWZ. That's his handle, Sergeant DWZ. If you're out there, let us know because

0:25.0

we got a question for you. We have a question for you. You got a question for us. We got

0:27.9

a question for you. How do you like that? The common is do the 6.5 by 55 sweet. Next, the

0:33.8

6.5 by 55 sweet. Next, Jim would be so impressed. Now originally when I, I interpreted this,

0:40.6

I thought he had some connection to Jimmy Jordan, because Jimmy Jordan is the only person

0:43.8

I know that owns a 6.5 sweet. Yes. Jim, you thought that it would be you because you

0:50.7

and I leave every cartridge talk going, man, I think I need one of those. Right. Either

0:54.9

way, I think not only will I be impressed and Jimmy is already smitten by it, I think

1:01.1

everybody else is going to leave impressed because I've heard nothing but phenomenal things

1:04.3

about the 6.5 sweet. I had never even heard its utterance until Jimmy Jordan goes, James

1:12.6

Jordan goes, I've got a 6.5 sweet and it's a beautiful rifle. At the time, I was kind

1:20.2

of like, it sounds like this obscure 6.5, you know, and I'm just like, it was even before

1:26.8

the 6.5 Creedmoor really came onto the scene. Yeah, I mean, because we weren't hearing,

1:30.6

you didn't hear 6.5 anything all that much at the time. It was not hot. It was like

1:36.4

on 6.5 sweet. Sounds French. Yeah. Therefore in my mind, Jim, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was

1:41.6

wrong. It happened. But I just was like a cool word cartridge, dude. Yeah. Yeah. I've
