    Powder suggestions for old 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser

    Rl 19; rl 22/23; IMR 4350; h4831 are all great powders for the swede. I own three rifles, including a Mauser, in Swede and handload them all. The Mausers prefer heavier bullets, as they were designed for a 160 gr round if I remember correctly. Nosler partition 140 gr would be ideal. I believe...

    Are Tikka barrels slow?

    I can’t remember the source, but at some point I read/heard a barrel maker comment they are slower due to looser internal barrel diameter and chamber size. It results in lower velocity, but being leas finicky with various bullets/loads. The trade off for slower velocity is that is shoots many...

    Custom 3006?

    I’m in the process of doing just that. 30-06 gets you to 600 with the right bullets no problem. I read several books outlining the cartridge Selection process. I tried to put my ego in check and be realistic about future hunts. In the end, while I shoot 1200-2000 rounds a year, shoot a...

    Who knows Win mod 70's?

    If you look up Model 70 trigger job by I believe the gunsmithing guild, it goes over a brief explanation of what you are experiencing.

    Who knows Win mod 70's?

    You need a gunsmith. I believe it has to do with the bolt shroud and how the firing pin is cocked. It requires filing to time correctly. If I recall, if you shorten too much you are replacing parts. It’s part of the trigger job for a good gunsmith. Lee Christianson(?) is a very well...

    Sauer rifles

    I would research the sauer barrel mating on that model. One of their other price point models was a press fit. Replacing the barrel requires shipment to Sauer. Not something a gunsmith would/could mess with. Something to consider with an untested cartridge.
