6x55 swede wildcat

Hoarding is another alternative. Prices aren’t going down and as soon as you sell it, you’ll need it.

Huh? The ARC (advanced rifle cartridge) would fit a Grendel or 7.62x39 527

I have a feeling this is a reference that is going over my head

Slimbo you don’t own a 6.5x55? I thought you would have a 6.5x55 tikka for sure, maybe RJ (TJ) can sell you one

6.5 Arch was an old wildcat, basically a shortened neck and a blown out 6.5 swede case. Gets very close to 6.5-06 velocities. - dan

How does the 6mm-08 differ from the 243 Win?

Anyways, the 6mm-284 makes the most sense to me - same case length as the 6.5X55, but larger in diameter. These no Wildcat based on the 6.5X55 that can provide more case capacity.

There’s always a bigger bear. This is about using my swede brass not performance

That's not the dumbest idea I've heard. In fairness though, I've heard a lot of really dumb ideas! Nowadays, even the 6mm Remington is practically a wildcat, so it doesn't make much difference. You pretty well need a proper reamer though. There is nothing worse than having a bunch of brass or a barrel blank looking for a purpose. I've saved myself a lot of money by giving away brass or dies which were tempting me.

Hoarding is usually a good thing in times like this, like buckmastr says, but it leads to the dangerous condition that you describe. Why did I do that itis

 

[Slimbo]

I guess what it comes down to is I should build a different variety of 6mm, and also build a 6.5 Swedish. Good chat guys! Guess I’m in the market for a 6.5 blank

But why give up on the 6mm swedemore so easily?

Split a reamer with me!

I’m on more of a tradex husqy budget these days…

Have you considered reboring your barrel? .257 or .277

As far as I know the 6.5 Arch is an Ackley style improved 6.5x55, there was an article about it in, I want to say, "Canadian Hunting and Shooting" back in the 90's.

As I thought you have NO idea . But I DO have a 6.5x55 AI 40 degree. It’s called a SUPER SWEDE by me RJ

How do you like it? The thought has crossed my mind to have a Husqvarna 1600 rechambered to remove any possiblity of hotter reloads going in a M96.

 

[conor_90]

what speeds do you get with the super Swede?

And what do you have against the 270 TJ?

With a shorter neck, blown out case and 40 degree shoulder it would come close to duplicating the 6.5-284.

And you win the prize for the most bizarre post of this thread

What you call yourself a gun nut? Never rebored a barrel blank before?

The 270x55 would really be approaching greatness I bet

That would be awesome... about 85% as awesome as a .270 Win.

270 swede is sure to get the old boys horned up on the project!

A 270x55 and a 7.62x57 HC on a pair of Remington 700’s and a merry Christmas for all!
