Favorite 6.5 Cartridge

[MontanaRifleman]

Here comes the american web - site with dealers and the full package. For explanation, RWS is part of the Swiss RUAG - Group.

Rifle | RUAG Ammotec USA, Inc.

Of course is RWS selling brass in all countries where you find them, and they do in the USA as I know for sure. 6,5 x 68 is usual stuff in Europe, and when you're ordering it in the USA they will deliver! The USA are the most important marked in the world.

Yes, and I called the RUAG distributor in Tampa Florida and they supply the dealers. They said they don't sell brass or components, they only use them them for production of ammo. Also called 3 of the dealers on the link you provided and they said they don't sell or can not order RWS brass. I do know that RWS rifle brass has become very rare here in the US and Midway no longer sells any at all. They do sell hand gun brass. Too bad because it is good stuff. Thanks anyway!

Sorry to hear that! It's not very smart of RUAG/RWS treating the US - marked as they do.

Yeah, I'm sorry too because RWS is good brass and they had a good market here. At least we can get the Norma 8x68S and neck it down... we like to tinker here in the US

Always a positive attitude! Like to hear that, and I hope you are going to make progress converting 8 x 68S to high powered 6,5 x 68. You'll love it! gun)

Cool Rhian! They have some 6.5 x 68 and 6.5 x 65 for the Sherman

I really wish they were selling 9.3x64 Brenneke brass here. . . I know, it about the rarest of the rare factory rounds. Which totally sucks because it is one of the best, most balanced cartridges there is for big game.

Take a look down on the second <RWS> page! 9,3x64 available, just without picture! 9,3x64 is to be told to have better performance than 375 H & H and it's beltless.

I don't want to be cruel, but the 6,5 x 68 there is the rimmed version (R) for break action rifles... They have a really good selection there, so it shouldn't be a problem to get the rimless ordered. Have you seen the 7x65R and 9,3x64? And then the extremely rare 8x60S? Haven't seen any of those in Europe for a long time.

An interesting looking case for sure... I think i would blow it out a little and sharpen the shoulder.

At which case did you look? I feel little insecure now because there isn't an image of the 9,3 x 64.

I looked at the 9.3 x 64 case on Ammoguide

Ok! The 9,3x64 is a very powerfull and precise big game round with a lot of recoil. The case has nothing to do with the 7 x64 and was an extra invention. The round itself is almost too powerfull for the most of European big game except "grown" moose, huge red stags and wild boars. Should be a perfect round for all kinds of game in Alaska.

Yeah, it looks like a powerful round.
