I`ve never loaded the 160 gr bullet in my Swedes but, I don`t really feel handicapped. The 140gr Partition ot Barnes 130gr TSX will shoot flatter and likely dig deeper then the old 160 RN. The 140 gr 6.5mm bullet has the same SD as a 190gr 30 cal bullet, ~.296.
No one knocks the 180gr 30-06 for animals such as you plan on hunting, and the Swede drives 140s at the same velocities...R22 is an excellent choice for a powder.
