Would there be any advantage to using the A frame (TXP) over the Oryx in 6.5x55? Anyone tried any TXP on moose?

Also will the 156gr A frame be available in component form?

A hunting friend of mine uses A-Frame in his 6,5x55. He handloads so he must have bought the bullets seperately, I'll check with him where he bought them if I can get hold of him. The A-Frame is tougher than the Oryx; if this is an advantage will, of course, depend upon the application.

If I was an american I'd say that the Oryx bullet is a classic. (Anybody else noticed that everything older than 5 years is called classic in america ) Of course you should use an Oryx. It's less than half the price and made in Sweden. It's a sacriledge to use a foreign bullet in a 6,5X55. Also the fact that it puts expansion before penetration makes it more in line with the general swedish idea of how a bullet should work.

What velocity do you load the 156gr Oryx in the 6.5X55? Is this bullet as good as their web page indicates it is?

I would prefere the SWIFT, if the target is moose. I loaded some rounds of that bullet for a friend. He used it on moose last autumn. Shot 2 shots on a medium sized bull. Both bullets whent trough the moose. Lung-heart-shots from broadside. The 6,5x55 is a carteridge in the lower class for moose. In my opinion the penetration is more important than expansion with this calibre when using it on larger animals. SWIFT bullets ensures penetration. Midway(.no) has got Swift in 6,5. Weight is limited to 140 gr.
