Bertram makes the brass and has it in stock.
CH4D makes dies in 6.5x53R.

If you use 303 brass you have to make sure that the rearward edge of the rim has a reasonable radius on it or else the rounds will not fit or feed through the en block clips.

Many of the guys here use 6.5x54MS dies and seem to have no problems, however if you check the cartridge drawing of the two there are some minor dimensional differences mainly around the shoulder area. I use the appropriate dies for my Mannlichers and Mannlicher Schoenauers and have no problems.

Before you shoot virgin brass in your Mannlicher it is well worth checking the headspace as they are often excessive, three of mine were between 0.014" and 0.018".

What sort of Mannlicher do you have ?

Matt.
