7 x 55

[Rob]

Is there a 7x55 and does anyone shoot it?

You're not thinking of the swiss 7.5x55?

 

[Hitzy]

A 7x55 (if there is such a thing) would be basically identical to a 284Win.
I use 284Win brass for loading my 7.5x55, just size, trim, and load, nothing else required.

Maybe 6.5x55 Swede necked up to 7mm.

7x55 maybe the name for 284Win in some countries, like 7.62x62 for 30-06.

Maybe a wildcat based on the 6.5x 55 swede.

 

[Rob]

I'll take that as a NO.

Is this the 7mm Short Neck that IIRC, DWM sold the Boers? Basically a 7.65x54 necked to 7mm for use in 7x57 rifles.

Ok Rob, What is the context for the question?

Made a mistake...its an interesting rifle for sale and the caliber is actually listed as 7.5 x 55
