Me as well . Not only 160s but 143's out of a 24" barrel at 59,000+ psi in a modern Swede aren't slouches either . A nano second longer in bolt throw and a couple of ounces in weight are a pretty good trade off as I see it. Definitely an outstanding 1000 yd target performer if one was inclined .. and a jewel of a hunting cartridge. First place overall when compared to the CM, 6x47 and .260 Rem

I kinda feel sorry for the old Swede .. it gets short changed because of all the old actions floating around. Bad Rap.
