[QUOTE="Clark, post: 1025814, member: 6600"] 10 years ago the US was importing Husqvarna 1896 Mausers in 270. The 270 SAAMI registered at 65,000 psi is the maximum possible for factory loading of the 0.470" large Boxer primed Mauser case head. The proof loads on those rifles were between 84,500 psi and 91,000 psi. So 96 Mausers ARE modern rifles, the problem is that the 6.5x55 is SAAMI registered at 45,000 psi, so all the load books were based on that. One thing I don't like about the 6.5x55 is the 0.480" chamber and brass made on US tooling is 0.470". I like H4350 with 130 gr. Even compressed, it is not too hot.... 3000 fps. [/QUOTE]
