Yup, those big 6.5's are at the other end of the spectrum from the the stuff like the Grendel for sure, and the 6.5X55 is right in the middle!
Most of the 6.5 cartridges I have owned over the years have been in single shots , so action length has never been a worry for me the cartridge itself was my main concern , and thee Swede can do it all efficiently and accurately.
That being said, my last 6.5 I had RKS do up was in .260, only because I had a set of Redding competition dies sitting on the shelf that I wanted to work with ! LOL
