The Gun Pimp Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The 6.5x55 Ack was the fore-runner of the 6.5-284. Although slightly less capacity - it's useable and gives excellent accuracy/velocity out to 1000 yards. It will easily outperform the 260 Rem. The only drawback was the lack of 'off the shelf' dies but I think it's possible to get them now. Also Lapua 6.5x55 brass is quite cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm thinking of going AI when I rebarrel it's the dies the put me off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 currently have and use both. The Swede imp is in a sako 75 long action, am weighing up my options on whether to sell or keep and rebarrel. Unsure what to rebarrel it to though (any suggestions)? Though the fireforming loads were super accurate, I did find it a flaff fireforming. The 260rem is very good now - after scope issues! Vermin doesn't seem to know a difference.
