Thanks for that info. I received my MRC 1999 6.5x55 last night and the very long throating in it is almost exactly the same as my 101 year old M96 Swedish Mauser. No problem, the proof is in the shooting which I'll find out about this weekend, just wanted to verify. It looks like that long throat is standard for 6.5 Swede chambers.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
