I've a lot of safevqueens 6.5mm s.

My Mauser M03 barrel in 6.5x65 RWS. I wanted a 650 mm 6.5x68 barrel though.

The Dutch Colonial Steyr 1895 (?) in 6.5x53R featured in a thread on these forums and historical information exportly researched by Lancaster I think it was. Correction, it was Rothammer. It was supposed to be the basis of a custom sporting rifle. Maybe not now? Need magazine charging clips for it.

Another custom sporting rifle project. The Greek 1900 Mannlicher already sportised. 6.5x54mm. Schutzen stocked. Need brass or ammo for it.

The 6.5 mm I've used is the Swedish 6.5x55 M96/M38 sporterised, barrel cut off, plastic stocked, scope and mounts added. 400 FMJ rounds in my storage. Factory ammo available. Extremely accurate accurate. A $400 rifle that exceeds anything a POS Creedmoor $8000 rifle can do. Shot a few deer, goats, other critters with it, I actually acquired it mostly as a "loaner" rifle for visitors.

Funny regarding a 6.5x57, I've another bolt action lightweight carbine I've often thought as being ideal as a 6.5x57. Zero intention of getting a x57mm. But I think the Mauser titles are more versatile than the the Steyrs, being able to have a wider variety of projectile choice. From 93 to 160grs, Spitzer to round nose.

I've always regarded the 6.5mm as being a far better choice than the once very popular .243/6mm. Better bullet weights. Better SD and penetration. Still mild. If only a 6.5mm was legal for sambar in Victoria.

A 6.5x57, 6.5x55, 54, 53R, a great choice.
