6.5x55 sweed

[Jon Glajchen]

My 6.5x55 is a custom intermediate actioned Mauser 98. It has a lovely English Walnut stock and a Shilen barrel. This rifle is set up to shoot lighter bullets as I also have both a 7x57 and 7x64 shooting 175 gr and 170 gr pills respectively.

Its favorite load is 49.3 grains of Vihtavuori N560 with a Barnes 120 gr TTSX bullet. This load chronographs at 2850 fps and shoots half inch groups all day if I do my part.

All matching numbers as well...M96 Carl Gustav 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser View attachment 705149

I also have a Mod 96 Mauser and it shoots fantastic!!! I paid a total of $82.00 back in 1994 for it.

i also use N-560 in my cz 550 in 6.5x55 with 139-140 gr bullets. the load i shoot is pretty heavy, but safe in the cz 550. i have shot 2.25" three shot groups at 300 yards from the bench. the bottom rifle is my cz 550 in 6.5x55, the top rifle is a cz 550 in .375 H&H.

Beautiful rifles Leslie...the CZ 550 action can take some hot loads, and it is in a 6.5x55Swedish Mauser ....

RETD16 I assume it is the original Military M96 Swedish Mauser???

Members, will it be possible to share your loads of the M96 Military Carl Gustav 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser with me in the use of a 143gn bullet in your loads with the 29.5 inch barrel ???

imr-4895 and imr-4350 does very well in my milsurp swedish mausers( 94-96-38,s) running at about 2300-2400 fps with 139-140 gr bullets.

The 6mm Creedmoor /6.5 Creedmoor is well known here in South Africa . It is one of the most use rifles for target /hunting activities.
I am selling/buying fire arms for members on my whatsapp group, the 6.5Creedmoor is the rifle that is selling as used rifles a lot more than any other rifles . The 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser is the rifle that is the most difficult to get my hands on to get hold for a member on my group..there is just not any 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser that I can buy/sell.

Owners of the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser just do not sell them at all.

My advise to you would be to consider a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser

Did some shooting using the M96 Carl Gustave 6.5x55Swedish Mauser . Part of this exercise was to blow out the new Lapua brass cases. I am using the cases only for one rifle each and keeping it separate since the chambers differs totally.
