    6.5x55 Swede users?

    EasyGravy, where are you finding the best price on Lapua brass right now? I can find it at about $75/100 but I have seen it cheaper. Care to share your source?? =)

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    come on in and join the fun!!!! After all, it is only money.... Just FYI, order your dies ahead of your build. Just ordered mine and was told up to 15 weeks to get them. My build should be ready in about two more months. Guess I will have plenty of time to fire form some brass

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    I am doing a 6.5x55AI as well. My build is off a long action 700 that I bought new in 1984. It has been neglected for about 20 years so I thought it was time to breath some new life into it. I looked hard at that NWP group buy. That was a heck of a good deal! I contacted redding but they...

    Thanks for the info on annealing.... That is about as easy as it gets! I can pick up a propane torch on the way home from work tonight. Thanks wrangler5

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    You look like you are just an action short of a trip to the gun smith.... My parts have already made the trip there and I think work has already begun but my delay is going to be the dies and stock (Work faster Manners!!!!). I am waiting on a call back from whidden gun works to finalize the...

    Finnfire II

    Reading the specs, it states it is a quad action. Wonder if this is a misprint? Why would they not just call it a quad then?

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    I was curious about case life and trimming as well. Layton, I may adopt a regimen like you but I don't have a way to anneal. PSG-1_sniper, what made you decide to go with an improved version? I have very much been on the fence about this as well due to case stretch. I read one post...

    Hunting & Fishing Groundhogs! ** Graphic **

    I wish we had more of them around here... That looks like too much fun! The only ones I have seen here live in the storm drain in my office parking lot. Between the offices and the road right behind them, they are safe (unfortunately)

    Anyone ever get nervous pulling the trigger on your first ever re-loads?

    I shot the first rounds I ever loaded about three weeks ago.... have to admit, I was really gritting my teeth when I squeezed the first one off! LOL I thought it was just me. You did your research, and were careful in your process. You will be fine. Like fireEMT5 said, start low and work up

    Steyr SSG 69... Provenance? Information? Advice?

    Not a tremendous amount of love for them here. I personally have had a little limited experience with them but not much. Very accurate but I think the biggest turn off for most people has been the magazine system. They are fragile and expensive... not a great combination. Anyway, here is the...

    nashlaw, is yours a custom or a factory gun? If it is factory, do you know the twist rate?

    Range Report 6.5x55 and IMR 4350

    I haven't found N560 anywhere... I have been looking for a load with H4831SC so I am going to use your data and see what happens in my hunting rig. I think the factory Win 70's are 1:9 twist barrels though so I am not sure what kind of results I will get with the 140's. The one I am having...

    Range Report 6.5x55 and IMR 4350

    Good info! I am having a 26 brux screwed onto an action as we speak. I was curious what kind of velocities to expect. Thanks Layton!

    Layton, what length barrel are you running on that rig? Great shooting by the way

    Range Report 6.5x55 and IMR 4350

    Take this with a grain of salt because I am brand new to reloading but I couldn't get H4350 to shoot at all out of my Win 70. It was the first powder and load i have ever tried to work up in anything.... Thought I just really sucked at reloading! HA! Second load with H1000 shot much much...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    I have a win 70 in 6.5x55 as well. It is really a pleasure to shoot. Very accurate and works pretty well on game. I just started reloading so I haven't got a good load worked up for it yet. I and trying some 125gr partitions over H4350 but haven't found a sweet spot yet. Only tested one day...

    Meredith Rifles 6.5 x 47 L lefty on a Bighorn action....two great things ....

    I was at Tooter's shop Friday dropping off a donor rifle for a rebuild. This is my first custom build and I am going with a 6.5 but something a bit different..... Glad to see all the positive posts about the man and his work. I can say that I have enjoyed talking with him the few...

    Want to play a game? 700 LA build

    Some can but not the one you have. You would need a long action magnum action. I am not 100% sure but I think they are even larger than the ones that Remington chambers there 300 win. mag on. 338LM is a huge round. By the way.... I have changed my mind and I am going with the 6.5x55 too...
