Wanted 6,5x68 (Schuler) Ammunition To USA

[AlanBigStick]

Hello. I recently acquired a beautiful prewar nitro proofed combination gun in 16 over 6,5x68 aka 6,5 Schuler. I understand the cartridges are still being made by a couple manufacturers in Germany. Demand in the US is exceptionally low; perhaps just me ‍.

Any line on a vendor or individual that can ship 6,5x68 to or within the US would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan

Sure it is a 6,5x68 and not a 6,5x58R???

I don't own a rifle or anything for this cartridge but I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

HWL, you are correct sir. I planned to just let this thread nap. It’s a Schuler sold combo gun sold under the guise of 16g/6.5x68, but someone on the German gun board found the error. It indeed is a 6.5x58R Sauer chamber. I’ve found 16 rounds with another 4 pieces of brass. Hopefully I can find more. Merkel says the gun is from the early 1920’s, but all the records are missing or destroyed from those years. It’s older than any of the guns in their museum. I doubt I fire the gun much, but I’d like to keep the ammo with it.
