About a year ago i bought a sauer 100 7m08 and decided I needed a spare mag which I eventually obtained , but not before mistakenly ordering a 6.5 prc mag, a $50 boo boo. This mag spent the past year on the book shelves as a constant reminder of the difference between 6.5 prc and 6.5 creedmo. So after 5 minutes on the phone with europtic I fixed the problem. The fix should be here in a few days.
So far, I like what the fire thinks of the mauser 18 6.5 prc as I've been researching recent posts. Now, if I could just find some factory ammo.

Sounds about right. .......... I have some 9.3x62 dies and bullets that need a rifle.

I picked up some once-fired 5.7x28 cases at the range....

I've got a few boxes of 7mmm-08 ammo and no rifle to use them in.... I had several boxes of WallyMart clearance .308 that sat forlorn in an ammo box until one magical day the LGS was clearing out a few T/C Compass rifles in .308....

I've got a few boxes of 7mmm-08 ammo and no rifle to use them in.... Picked up some nickel-plated .375 H&H brass at the range. No rifle to use them in. Yet.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I got a set of 9.5x57 Mauser dies at a swap meet for $10 (Not 9.3x57 - these are a set of RCBS customs. The 9.5mm is a .375 bullet) Now I have to find a reamer and then a barrel. At least I have a couple actions and some wood that'll work...
Got a smokin' deal on a bunch of 9.3x62 Lapua brass and loaded ammo. So I have a rifle off being rebored for it now. Had no idea I needed a 9.3x62 prior to that.
Cheers,
Rex

I had several hundred 6mm bullets before I had a rifle to shoot them.

This thread reminds of the woody allen movie (love & death I believe) where one scene features an idiot's convention held at an old inn iin the forest. Dozens of idiots dancing on the premises and a huge banner draped across the entrance...."Idiots Convention....All Idiots Welcome"

I bought 500 rounds of new 7x64 brass on clearance, $12/50.
Had to find a donor to build said rifle.
