I've never heard of this round before and am wondering how it compares to the 6.5x55 Swede. Can anyone tell me anything about this round and maybe how it compares to the 55?
Factory loads appear to be available only from RWS. The two 6.5x65 loads I was able to discover are a 108 grain soft point spitzer bullet at a muzzle velocity (MV) of 3460 fps and muzzle energy (ME) of 2260 ft. lbs., and a 127 grain soft point spitzer bullet at a MV of 3313 fps and ME of 2442 ft. lbs.
Too rich for my blood, I'll stick with 6.5x55 with super cheap high quality brass, and several thousand round barrel life.Closing them out at $32.02 for a box of 20 unprimed cases! Imagine what a box of cartridges - loaded with those fancy RWS H-Mantel bullets - would cost.
