Advice from 6.5x55 shooters and hand loaders

[samsplacci71]

Can't say enough good things about the 6.5x55. Its simply awesome.

^^^ what he said. I own 3 Swede Mausers. Though my 1901 Carl Gustaf M96 shoots like a lazer. The 6.5x55 is a beautiful low pressure cartridge!!!

I bought a swede mauser last year. I am very happy with it. It has soft recoil in a ramline stock. I modded the bolt handle so that the scope would clear. I just need to get a BOLD trigger for it so the safety will work. The swede is my new favorite cartridge. I have components but I haven't loaded a single round yet.

Oh man, you are in for a treat.
Tuned handloads cut groups in half most times.
Try Horn. 140gr Amax with RL22 for a real eye-opener.
