Considering a 6.5x55 Swede Build

I have never had an issue wiht Remington Brass.

thats a very good round, flatwins has the M38 husqvarna of mine and some douche in alaska has my M96 i sold

It wouldn't be much of a trick to neck 308 Lapaua brass down to 260.

Correct, I just don't want to dink with it. And I'm not really comfortable having ammo with the incorrect head stamp. Plus, 6.5x55 spanks 260.

I agree...

Great round. Wish that I hadn't sold the shoot that I had several years ago, and I don't want to break out the one that is still in cosmoline. I guess I will just have to find another one and start a build......dang it.

There's a decent-looking sporterized Swede at Jerry's Gun Shop in Ardmore for $199.

PM sent. I would want big match bullets ~140gr.

 

[flatwins]

Are you planning to build one? For a off-the-rack the Tikka sure looks like a good one.

 

[338Shooter]

Yeah, I've tracked down a couple 700 long actions and I think I'd like to have Steve work some magic.

Now ya went and done it. Next time I go to the range the Swedes are going with me!
