Jæger J Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Sir, the forum link doesn't work (even though I'm logged in). Nice stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassel Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looks lika a fairly standard "lang krag" (long krag) the main infantery rifle of the period. Use reduced loads in 6,5 x 55 (not to be confused with 6,5 x 55 swe & 6,5 x 55 Scan.) Nice example by the looks. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlainOldDave Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 6.5 Krag ammunition is nonexistent in the US, and 6.5 Krag load data is nearly so. Most US load manuals and component makers insist their 6.5 Swedish Mauser load data can be used in any 6.5x65 rifle. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassel Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I bellieve the Lyman Reloading handbook has Reduced 6,5 x 55 loads for krag and the old M96 swedish mausers. As a rule of thumb- 140gr bullet, less than 2200 f/ps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlainOldDave Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 US reloading manuals generally don't list velocity for starting loads; I have the Lyman book (in storage and can't get to it), but wouldn't be surprised if it followed that rule. A goodly number of manuals don't even provide reduced loads for 6.5 Mausers, either, including my mainstay Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
