I am looking for info on this cartridge, I originally believed it to be a 25/303. Case dimensions, source for reloading dies (other than custom made by someone like RCBS), reloading info, etc. I have been in contact with kombi in Austrtalia, who has been of great help. Thanks.

there realy isn't any good info out there, here's mine.... reloading dies are around but you can do the same thing cheeper by reducing the neck with a 6.5x55 die be carefull not to push the shoulder back to far, do a little at a time and try in the chamber when you close the bolt lock the ring and do the rest of your brass. I would then anneal (I've foung the brass lasts way longer) fire forming at the range makes the brass fit so nice, (15grains red dot top up with corn meal and a little plug of wax to keep it all in) then neck size with a 6.5 neck sizer build you loads up watching all the signs and seat the bullets with the 6.5x55 bullet seater.

Your'e wrong partner, Kombi1976 lives in OZ, I talk to him regularly.josquin said:BTW, I saw a post by Kombi (he's in NZ, actually) on another forum, asking about the feasibility of making a "Martini Cadet double rifle."
Old Badger has a 6.5/303, and uses the 6.5X55 dies also, with a Hornady seating die.
His is on a Martini action.
He may have some load data, if you PM him.
