I received a reply to day asking for my address so they could send me one for free. How is that for service. YES GET IN.

They sent me details of the Cam its set up for a 139grain Norma VM bullet. Running at 2625ft/sec. The cam is calibrated from 100 to 800meters. Its in the post yippee. :shakeshout: :shakeshout: clapclap :grin: :cheers: party2
A couple of years ago, Kahles repaired a late 90's steel tube fixed power scope I have free of charge, I was very impressed, and wouldn't hesitate to buy their products again!

Didn't I say that Kahles produced a ballistic cam for 6.5x55mm along with many others (7mm Remington Mag, .308Win 168gr Hirtenberger Match, etc) in the third post of this thread?

The 6.5x55 was based upon the ballistics of the Norma VM cartridge with a 9.01g (139gr) bullet (800 m/sec, 2625 ft/sec). According to Kahles the P/N was #335-1573.

YES YOU DID BUT I DONT HAVE ONE. I do now because I sent Kahles a email and asked them if they do a 6.5x55 ballistic cam they replied to say that no they don't any more but they have one old stock and they kindly offered to ship it to me for free.

Part of the email they sent me.

Hello Mr. Harding,



please see the second position in the following list:

This cam (335-1573) is one of our last. We’lI send you this spare-part for free.

I am a happy bunny this arrived in the post this morning a 6.5x55 cam just need to fit it then find some were to zero it. Finding a suitable range might be a bit of a challenge it might have to wait until next year.
Its for use with a 139 grain bullet. In the mean time I will spend some time building ammo for the rifle and shooting it over a chronograph to get some were near the round they have recommended. It will also give me time to play with cartridge over all length.
But not a bad result it was free and they sent me a catalogue and a lens cleaning cloth along with the calibrated cam.
