Re: 6.5 X 54 Mannlicher Shoenaur Loads etc

Daryl,

As you probably recall we discusses the 9.3x57 at some length on Gunboards as I also have a Husqvarna 46 in 9x3.57 which also has a groove depth of 0.370". I have not been able to cloverleaf with mine but then again I have not altered the bedding at all. As I recall you did to yours. Ther ehave been several articles published about how to get barrels that are oversize to shoot and the 6.5mm comes in for a lot of bashing about it. These people seem to think that every barrel should be rifled at 0.004" depth and in fact this has never been the case. Remington used to only cut about 0.0015" depth grooves on their paper patched barrels or so I recall reading somewhere. My own Husqvarna 46 is on 1935 vintage.
