Cheapest ammo source for Swedish M96

Good post! I'm looking for some also as...

The last stuff I have says " Imported from Sweden by Century Arms Quebec".
It's in those little 20 rnd boxes...but they came without the stripper clips. :(

I'm down to one box of FMJ. :eek:

I have a feeling that next month I'm going to have to buy the reloading dies, brass, powder bullets etc...I guess it is par for the course with some Milsurp stuff these days. :D
 
A Lee Loader in 6.5 Swede is only about $20 new. If you're on a budget and want to neck size only than you can't beat a simple set up like that.

I reload for the 6.5x55 (since I have owned the thing I only came across two boxes of the milsurp ammo, a miracle in fact...I only shot one, and regret having done so!)

I got the Lee Loader, however I did get the hand priming tool since I was not keen on seating primers with the hammer ;)

Some people say the Lee Loader is slow, but I have a good rythm with it and I make it fast enough for me.

In my opinion most people who poke fun at the Lee Loader have never used one.
 
Igman ammo is very inexpensive, check out local gunshows, I've found lot's of ammo from different manufacturers usually at $20 a box. Lee loader works great, a bit slow. I don't use the scoop for the powder, I like to weigh it instead.
