Who loads 6.5 X 55 Swede?

[tac]

It's a 1902 dated Carl Gustafs short rifle.

View attachment 522799

It has the Husqvarna T marked rear sight and shoots almost point of aim at 100 yds. Every other marking is Carl Gustafs. Strangely, or not, the yellow decal is on upside down. No...upside down to the shooter trying to read it while shooting.

I think you'll find that it shoots precisely to the point of aim at 100 METRES.

The USA is one of the few countries that is clinging on to the old imperial system - Sweden went metric well over a hundred years ago...even though the advice for shooting the 'torped' bullet [spitzer] is still in ''stricks. where noted.

I've just come home from my usual Wednesday morning on the range, having taken my 1898 CG for an outing with a new-to-me load - DO NOT COPY THIS LOAD IN YOUR m/96 WITHOUT WORKING UP TO IT!! IT IS SAFE IN MINE, BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE IN YOURS!!!!

The load is 36gr of Vihatvuori N150 - CCI #200 LRPs - I am v. happy.

It's a wonderful performer and an even more wonderful performance by you. Is this rifle scoped?

 

[tac]

Wash your mouth out, Sirrah. It is not scoped. Being povertous by nature, by inclination,and by dint of a sad combination of reduced circumstances, I do not possess the necessary funds that would otherwise serve to make me the owner of a m/41B.

Here it is -




It does however, have an old but still capable shooter behind it.

Nor is it a fluke combination of coincidental holes, viz., an earlier group shot with the very last lot of RL17 on this side of the Atlantic - AFAIK. Mind you, there are only four shots here...

I will send you a scope mount and some drill bits so you can tighten up those groups. LOL...
I don't see well enough to shoot groups that tight even if my rifle can over 60M.
