Yeah I really like my Sweed, as far as ultra light recoil hunting calibers go it is without equal, other then it's ballistic twins of course (260Rem, 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmore) A couple years ago I did a detailed comparison of light kicking hunting calibers and the remarkable ballistics of the 6.5s put them well ahead of the pack. They also have the advantage of the highest SD bullets of the small caliber world giving them killing power far beyond what their recoil would tell tell you. Pistol cartrages can also posess that high level penatration with Keith style hardcast, not expending any energy on expansion means more energy on target, shame they are not legal to hunt with here. I would not hesetate for a second to use a Keith style 44 mag on any deer or hog we have around here, only issue is to make sure you hit both lungs directly since hardcast don't make a wide wound canal so little to no remote damage unlike my ballistic tips that send fragments through the entire chest cavity.
