[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 857774, member: 25383"] there are three basic 6.5x55 improved rounds out there. The 6.5 Vias is probably the best, but the old 6.5 Arch is just as good. Both are better than the 6.5x55AI. It uses either a 30 or 35 degree shoulder angle, and that's going to help you fight the doughnut. Ackley said the performance of the two were near identical. Personally, I like the 6.5x57AI. Cases are simply necked up .257AI brass. Dies are easy to do, as all you need is a set of Forster .257AI dies. Hone the seater sleeve out to .302" or whatever you neck comes in at. The sizer just needs to be honed out, or buy a bushing die. We're only looking at ten or twelve thousandths at the max. Last I heard Norma does factory ammo in the 6.5x57 Mauser. There's a little new found interest in this round with the 1000 yard bunch, and seems to work well. Recoil wise the factory Norma stuff ought to be very mild. Most 6.5x57 rounds are loaded in the low 40K psi range, but the round is capable of going into the 60K psi area gary [/QUOTE]
