[Alpha1]

Any body got any factory 6.5x55 ammo in 120grain 139grain and 140grain if so could you measure the cartridge overall length and post details please. sign85

What lengths do the reloading manuals you have suggest?

What gun will you be using the rounds in?

I want to know what length factory rounds are nothing to do with reloading them my self.

I have some PRVI somewhere.

That said, I also have about a dozen Swedish FSR & Swedish military manuals/handbooks on the M96 & the ammunition; plus the commercial books on the Swedish Mauser & the cartridge.

Is it only commercial ammo you want data on? ...as some of the info I have goes back to the military ammo trials in the 1890's

PPU 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser - 139 gn FMJ BT

First 5 out the box:

2.973
2.971
2.975
2.967
2.973

Ave: 2.972"

Edit...note that the PPU bullet has a rounded point which makes it shorter that SMKs and Scenars.

Thank you that's exactly what I want. Any body got any 120grain and 140grain they can measure for me. I am only interested in commercial ammo.

Only one person on full bore UK shoots 6.5x55 with factory ammo I am shocked.

No we shoot 6.5x55 but you already have the information for the ammo we use PPU 139gr given by Dougan once fired I reload the brass.

I don't understand I asked for measurements of factory ammo are you saying that I already have the measurements for PPU ammo that you use. Are you then saying that you reload Dougans once fired brass.

Ok so I apologise there are two people on full bore UK who shoot 6.5x55 calibre with factory ammo. I am still shocked that we only have two people.

No our factory PPU once fired I reload it.
