    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    Yah have R22 on hand. By hot are you talking sticky bolt, primer signs, or ejector marks? And you’re .002 off lands?

    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    Don’t Swedes like slow powders and long barrels? I’d think with the ballistics out of an 18”-20” barrel you’d be Creedmoorish or slower…..

    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    I’ve had my son’s Swede for 13 years and he just asked to have it back. The Tikka T3 Hunter pushed 140 Accubonds to 2605 fps with 46.1g R-22. Lapua brass. That is max from Nosler’s data, which is safe for old actions. After much research I’ve gathered that 2750- 2800 is...

    Sticky Expander Ball

    Hi, just bought the same dies and requested .288” honing for Lapua brass (.014” neck thickness). 6.5 cm. Wondering how it’s going for you and if you are using the expander vs mandrel. Thx

    Sticky Expander Ball

    Will be reporting on my results with a honed Forster die, and expander ball. If I’m not happy may look at mandrel….

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    I actually don't have either Hornady bullet. I was referring to starting out with some Hornady factory ammo. Either 143 eldX or 140/147 eldM. Just to get shooting. Was thinking of focusing on pressure ladder for my 40 ABs

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    What’s the point in a 20” Swede when a 24” cm with 40x the ammo availability would give you the same ballistics? This coming from someone who’s shot a Swede and never a CM

    FNG from Washington

    Hi from the People's Republic of WA; just bought a Tikka 6.5 CM and hoping to research optics options for a rare hunter/frequent paper puncher out to 600 yds. Cheers

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    Believe me contorted muliple ways to avoid this caliber. I have a ton of 6.5 bullets; I hunt occasionally never past 400 yards, and the rest of the time plinking out to 600 yds. I didn't want to dump a Swede on my heirs as they would be forced to handload for it. I didn't need a 6.5...

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    Hi, New listener/first time caller here- My FFL just took delivery of my Tikka 6.5 CM CTR; still pondering optics options and will start with 143 ELDMs. When I start hand loading, I’ll probably join the H4350 crowd. In the meantime I’m wondering about using my large stock of R22 and...
