Apr 23, 2011 · The 6.5x55 is very accurate, if it was marketed like the Creedmoor, it would be more popular than the new Hornady 6.5x47 copy. Cheers. P.S. I have the 6.5x47 too, the 6.5x55 was consistently more accurate than that is, that Swedish match ammo with Berden primers was exceptionally accurate, true match ammo in my opinion.

Nov 24, 2024 · Couple years ago, my hunting buddy and I went to Greenland for muskox and caribou. Because of some complicated travel logistics, we borrowed a rifle and ammo from the outfitter. The rifle turned out to be a Tikka T3X in 6.5X55; ammo was Sellier & Bellot 131 gr JSP. That combo cleanly took two muskox bulls and two caribou and made a believer out ...

Dec 14, 2004 · I have shot Prvi ammo extensively in 7.5 Swiss, 8x57, 7.62x54R. I have also fired their 6.5 x 55 ammo through a Swede 96/38 Mauser. I was in a hurry (was actually at the range to sight in some other rifles and put three quick rounds downrange just to check that the new Mauser worked) 6.5 x 55 139 gr SP Prvi Partizan @ 100 yards:

Jul 2, 2021 · You should not be able to close the bolt on a 6.5 creedmore rifle using a 6.5x55 cartridge. Remember when a rifle goes "BOOM" this is a controlled explosion near your face, so you always want to make sure everything is correct.

Apr 21, 2012 · Little did I know that Ackley never did it. But to make a long story short, I got busy and copied the Ackley design into the 6.5x55, with a great deal of input from Dave Manson of Manson Reamers (PS advertiser). With the 140 gr. bullet the velocity gain is 13.7%. Standard factory velocity is 2550 fps, while the 6.5x55 BJ Ackley gets 2900 fps.

Mar 12, 2013 · The loads were very hot! Factory ammo was down a hundred fps or more. The 6mmAI was good for about 175fps more velocity, but the cases held up better 4. the .257 Roberts (I've only seen factory +P ammo twice in my life) with a 117 grain bullet is good for the 2700fps on a good day. Hand loads are good for about 2750fps, but think 2800fps is doable.

Jul 3, 2021 · Would there be any issue shooting 6.5x55 ammo though a 6.5 creedmoor rifle? Yes! There is always an issue most of the time when the wrong cartridge is fired in the wrong firearm. Exceptions are .22 shorts and longs in a .22LR, 38 Special in a .357 magnum, .44 Special in a .44 Magnum, and a few...

Nov 24, 2024 · Great cartridge, yep... it looks like it's working great to me from the photos. I've only owned one 6.5x55 Swede, in a very nice M96, an up-scale military target version with original diopter sights. It shoots crazy good. I've only killed one Deer with it. The rifle spends most of its time on the flat range in old military competition games. Cheers

May 13, 2016 · Was just looking at 6.5x55 loading data compared to 260 Rem. The 6.5x55 has a larger case by a few grains of water but the 260 loaded to the same load produces over 100fps more velocity. The barrel difference is 1 inch in favor of the 260. Is the Sweedish cartrage a weak case desing like the 30-30 because even loads for new guns appear mild.

Apr 23, 2011 · The 121 gr hammer the 130 gr accubond the 120 gr ballistic top 99 gr hammer and 125 gr Nosler partition will stabilize in a 1-9 twist 6.5x55 any thing heavier probably won't that's my experience with that twist rate in that caliber the 121 gr hammer will perform above it's weight with a velocity gain that might fit the ticket for his twist rate if not the 130 gr accubond would be my …
