[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 497824, member: 10178"] Some have tried to make 6.5 Swede cases out of 30-06 cases but it is not advisable to do so. The 06 case is slightly smaller in diameter and will swell out when fired but can also let loose. 6.5 Swede cases are readily available. I agree whole heartily with cfvickers. One note though. If you have a long enough barrel even with the under 46,000 C.U.P loads you can get those bullets smoken. I have a number of the Swede Mauser rifles and with the 29 inch barrel on the M-96 with 120 gr bullets I get 3000 fps and with 140 gr I get 2800 fps with max loads of AA 4350 given in their manual and outstanding accuracy and they put the smack down on deer.
