Downwindtracker2 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Not where their heads are at. rather the specifications for the 6.5x55 cartridge . I was searching last night on the 'net. It seems there are three different ones. SAAMI, CIP, and Swedish Army. Short to longest. I'm awaiting a GO gauge from Brownells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 8x57 has the same problem, from what I've read. Even different brand gauges are different, and what is good on one is not good on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Makes me wonder why I’ve always been nervous about headspace. An old man down the road only used a field guage when buying rifles and I thought he was crazy for not being more concerned about headspace. Maybe he was right.

Downwindtracker2 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 They say just neck size. Well from playing around with a P-17, you can get the case to shorten, stay the same or lengthen . I got it rechambered 308Norma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
