WTB 6.5X55 Swede

[Watchman]

Looking to buy a case or so of old milsurp 6.5x55 Swede ammo.
Or, modern stuff if reasonable.
Let me know what you have! :)

Do a search on PRIVI PARTISAN, they are boxer primed, reloadable cases. A lot of milsurp is corrosive and berdan primed (non reloadable) Discount ammo sales was the cheapest I found, I think Wolf is around the same price.... I needed PSP loads to make sure there is no steel in them because the range I shoot at wont allow steel core ammo

Thanks Chukar Hunter.
Yes, almost all milsurp is berdan/corrosive, but still shoots well.

I have a beautiful old Swedish Mauser, probably an honest 75-80% condition, with all matching numbers. Even the bolt!
I just don't have any ammo for it. Not a single round.

I was toying with the idea of selling it, but would like to shoot it first.
It's unlikely I would reload for it, so milsurp works fine.
I was hoping someone might have some stashed away that they didn't need or wanted to be rid of. :)

Anybody?...

Good luck in your search! I have a 1906 Karl Gustav that the serials dont match but am hoping that the disk on the stock wont lie. Hopefully someone in here will have some milsurp for you but beware of the Danish stuff, i've heard some bad things about the milsurp Danish ammo for 6.5mm

Saturday bump for the weekend warriors. :)

Don't buy the S&B stuff. Had a bunch of that I gave to my nephew for practice. Wasn't accurate in either 96.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up!

With the price of ammo, you darn sure want it to work properly.

I've had good luck with S&B in my Swede "shorty" carbine.

As usual, it probably depends on the individual gun.

JMHO
