Title: Safety of 6.5 X 55 Swedish ammo in Norwegian Krag? Post by dmg4 on Dec 14th, 2009 at 12:45am
I've received advice from several folks in Norway NOT to use 6.5 X 55 Swedish milsup ammo in my M94 Krag long rifle. Several other users at Surplusrifleforum apparently use the hotter ammo without incident (yet?). Is there a source for downloaded 6.5 X 55 ammo in the US? I'm looking for something pushing a 140 gr bullet at around 2,500 fps, with pressures near 40,000 psi or less. What's the opinion of folks here? Is this like the safety of "low-numbered" M1903 Springfields (not likely to blow, but it only has to happen to YOU once).
Should I simply resort to exclusively handloading for Norwegian Krags? |
