Anyone have any experience with this cartridge that they care to share? I just bought a contender barrel, Don't even own a contender ;), just because I love the 6.5x55 that I have and thought bullets wouldn't be wasted if I didn't like it. The price was right also :).

Does anyone have any advice on the 156gr. Norma Oryx bullet and Reloader 22 powder? I really like the idea of heavy bullets in this caliber for big game hunting, but can't find any reloading data. I was hoping someone with experience can get me up and running. Looking at the 160gr. Hornady RN...

Well all I REALLY would need is a rebarrel and scope mount and possibly a little bit of milling on the locking block. Anyone know a good gunsmith who works on Ruger #1s?

Where should I look to find reloading date for the 160gr. Trophy bonded bear claw bullet in the 7mm mag? And a side note, when should you use magnum primers? I have seen different manuals list both standard and magnum primers for Reloader 22 in the 7mm mag.

Ok I am new to reloading so forgive me if this is a stupid question. First off I am very book conscience right now, but I have a question about upping a load over the book value. All sources I have found list 230gr LRN slug as having a max charge of 4.0gr (alhthough some call this the "target"...

What are the collective opinions of the group on loading the 150gr, Swift Scirocco in a 7mm mag for a combination mule deer/elk hunt next fall? Is the bullet tough enough to handle an elk? Any idea where I could find load data for this bullet?

Hi all, I need a little help. I am currently residing in England, but the first 9 days of March I am going to be traveling through the mainland of Europe and I want to buy a pair of binoculars, probably Swarvoski, but I am open to suggestions on other brands. I am looking for a place that...

Ok I have been pondering something recently... If you had to choose between a heavy bullet of classic design or a middle weight bullet of premium variety which would you choose for Elk? This may end up getting more complicated later, but for now lets just look at 30-06 for simplicity's sake...

Ok as I have said a thousand times I just got a neat little Mauser rifle. 96 Mauser, 6.5x55, barrel cut to 20", What I believe is a Fajen laminated thumbhole stock, and a Freelands metal adjustable butt plate. After seeing a Kimber sporterized mauser at the gun show I thought about... ;)...

I am looking for the August 2001 copy of handloader magazine. I want the article in there on the 6.5x55 Swede. I looked into buying a back issue but they wanted to much for it. If anyone has the article and would be willing to copy and mail it to me I would greatly appreciate it. If they...

Well I just bought a little rifle that I would like your thought, opinions and comments on. I have read all the old threads, I think I have at least. It is a 1916, 96 Mauser action, curved bolt for scope clearance, the barrel has been cut down to 20 inches, glass bedded in a laminated...

Well here is the long and the short of it all. I have a P7M8 factory refurb gun that I have had for about a year. I have recently been considering selling it and a S&W revolver and using the proceeds from the S&W to buy a Glock 26 and the money from the H&K to get the best 1911 I can get in...

Does anyone know if Savage still makes the 900 series rifles, specifically the Biathlon version. I need one in left hand but can't find anywhere that tells if they still make them. I hope they do! Any contact info for Savage, website, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

I have been thinking about trying to find one of these with 3" barrel as my do everything gun. Looking for your thoughts and impressions about this gun. Have always loved K-frame round butts and this seems like a good one!
