[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1766285, member: 57533"] Personally I would just stick to a normal shaped soft point projectiles for an ex mil rifle. The military ammo at the time for the rifle was based on the 139gr FMJ projectile I believe. I'd be inclined to stick with that weight range. Also Id suggest looking up some reduced powder loads for the ex mil action. Yes the old Mauser's are one of the best bolt actions available at the time & still now but be aware the pressure the old chambers can take are different to the modern actions! Ive owned a few & that Swedish 6.5x55 ball ammo is actually pretty dam accurate but I wouldn't use it for hunting! [/QUOTE]
