Recently provided a home for a Dutch Artillery M1985 carbine, in 6.5x53R.
Basically a twin to the 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer Model 1903 carbine cartridge I use.
Anyone here have experience with this round?
I've 44 re-formed .303 British cases and 37 Bertram 6.5x53R cases to work with. The Hornady 6.5mm 160 gr SP is a splendid bullet for use, but shall be going with a cast bullet for plinking n' general woods loafing use. Most likely the Lyman 266469, 140 gr GC bullet - and I know a fella that's able to make some of these (when not out trapping).
I've read some on the Lee 150 gr and 170 gr (170 perhaps a bit long?). Anyone with experience with these Lee bullet weights in 6.5mm: 6.5x53R, 6.5x54, 6.5x50, 6.5x52, 6.5x55?
The below web site gives good information on the Dutch carbine. Carbines like this are a joy to carry n' use in the field, rather handy.
