After all the positive reviews, I ordered a Howa 1500 in 6.5x55 >>PICS<<

I have a bunch of commercial ammo to test out, including Prvi 139 grain FMJ's (I've had great success with Prvi, though Hitzy has me worried :)) and some higher end Norma Vulcan 156 grain and Norma Nosler Partition 140 grain. I will eventually get set-up to reload for 6.5x55.

I didn't shoot those, but the PRVI 139sp. I do load their 120bthp and they are very good. Those FMJ might be better....
This 117 year old sporter shoots them like this...my S&L M52 and M69's did not, neither did a CG63 sporter barrel '96, or my Howa or HVA....I initially bought 140 rounds of it, and I still have 80 left. Good brass at least!
