Before WWI, the 6.5's earned good reputations on game including buff and elephant with a 160-gr. RN at 2,100-2,400 fps. The Swede may be the best of them, and it's still used in Sweden on what we call moose.

Original rifles (and some new ones) are throated for and shoot best with those long RNs. They rarely do well with short, light spitzers. And in a strong action like your CZ, careful use of modern powders can turn the Swede into a junior 270.

You've got a VERY nice rifle on your hands.
