Mauser M18 6.5x55 Swedish

[JimTom]

Glad you’re happy with it mate. I did post somewhere before that I was considering one in 300WINMag. Went with a Winchester Mod 70 instead.

See they make a M18 in 223, looks nice. Heavy threaded barrel too!

so Ive been collecting M/41 139gr Swede ammo recently and finally thought Id throw a few down the Mauser M18s throat see what happens....the gun seemed to like em

Was a quick 50m lunch time session at St Mary, 2nd group went 13mm for 5 shots, kinda wished Id taken another box with me.

The Prickskytte 139gr Boat tails are what was developed for the M/41 sniper rifles and mostly what was imported into OZ

How on earth were you able to find M41 ammo? my old swede seems to like the 140gn S&B the most at least from what I can tell using irons.

hey Thatnewguy just the local gunshow or 2, this stuff really is match grade ammo, some times you can pick it up cheap

Howdy folks,
I'm on a 6.5SE journey myself
Like most I have purchased A modern action Zastava M70 stainlessafter having a M96 , Being A 1/220 twist I have decided on the 100gr projectiles, mainly the 100 EDL-M for light animals and 103gr outer edge for deer I would like to give the barns 100gr TTSX a go as well .
I started with the ADI2206H which proved to be a little erratic at higher velocities . yet showed good potential at lower velocities 2800-3000 fps
ADI 2208 was erratic at lower charge waits yet once the case started filling up is proving reliable . After finding a good speed node I am at the point of playing with seating depth.
