Finishing a Mauser build and can go either way. Could do a .270 Ingwe. Which is a 7x57 necked down to .277" with no other changes. Be the first on your block to have something 99.999% of the population never even heard of.  Compliments will get you nowhere.

Yeah I will probably shoot the lighter ones. And ingwe I am a redhead does that count? Scared yet?! I'm not an opie looking one though lol MJB - I have my first 6.5 Swede and SO FAR I'm UNDER-impressed with the velocity (speed ) I'm getting w/129 gr bullets. ASAP I'll be trying 120 grs. With slow velocity your trajectory is not flat enuff for me. I'm hoping to flatten the Swede out with the 120s. If I can't get acceptable accuracy with more velocity, I will NOT have another 6.5x55. For comparison I have and have had 6mm Rems and 3100 fps is very doable with 100gr bullets. That gives FLAT trajectory (relatively speaking) and 95-100 gr 6mm bullets come in brands that work on WT--Elk So from my perspective I would not think twice about getting the 7X 57, after all it's the 'miniature 270 W. GRIN ! !

I have both. For the 6.5x55, I went with Lapua brass, solved any problems before they occured. It's a 98 Mauser/Shilen and really likes Scenar 139's. My 7x57 is a Full Stocked CZ and likes 140's more than the heavies. I don't see that much difference in perforance, both get the job done with the right load.

Heck, with an article or two extolling it's virtues, you could become an internet sensation. Anyhow....just a thought

Finishing a Mauser build and can go either way. I would base the choice on which caliber I had brass and bullets on hand...... either are "THE" choice for a custom Mauser and they both do excellent.Beings I already have a 7x57 and a .260 I would go with the 6.5x55.

Rancho_Loco - "I'm pretty sure even David would have considered the 7x57 archaic." What IF it was endorsed by Moses? Honestly "6.5 Swede" just sounds waay cooler than plain vanilla "7X57 Mauser". At the range the Swede's always get more on-lookers than anyone using a 7MM anything - LOL. Homesteader
