[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2037502, member: 115658"] My thinking is that the 6.5X55 is sort of a peculiar cartridge as it has a rim diameter of .480 vs. .473. No big deal until supplies of brass are terminated (lack of demand/unprofitable) or supplies of foreign brass like Lapua are cut off. I rather have a 6.5-06 and never worry about finding brass and get another 3-4 % velocity. I have a 96 Mauser that has performed well. when using 140 Sierra GK's, against a M1A at 385 meters . The brass disk on the starboard side of the stock indicates the bore measures 6.49 mm, condition 1(good), and has sights adjusted to hit at 100 meters using some kind of 139 grain bullet. The stock before it got beat up and soaked with grease would be real attractive, a medium colored wood, probably walnut, having evenly spaced fiddle back on rear of stock. An interesting relic, made in 1903, and with the addition of peep sights is a good shooter rivaling the .308. [/QUOTE]
