[QUOTE="hybridfiat, post: 993166, member: 72793"] I have 1 rifle 6.5x 55 and think it's a great calibre. The case has a greater capacity than the .308 case the Creedmore is based on so you can load it to higher velocities without exceeding max pressures. I use the European reloading charts not USA based charts. The SAAMI specs are weeny for some reason and consequently nothing derived in the US for the Swede is loaded even close to it's potential. I'm not entirely sure why. The Swedish Husqvarna made 96 rifles are very strong and have large lock up areas on the bolt. Larger than the Mauser 98s. Anyhow the Swedes use full loads in all their rifles and it is an inherently accurate calibre. Have a look at this site for some suggestions on projectiles.
