Got a chance to buy some 6.5x55 brass for my rifle

Hey, that Swede ain't no "mouser", it is one of the nicest bolt action Mauser rifles ever made! Not knowing the history of the brass, and not knowing how many times it had been reloaded, I would recommend buying new ammo and reloading the brass that was shot in your own rifle.
 
Yeah, I hope Taurus guy knows I was just kidding him a little. Remember, though, that these are old rifles and the metalurgy may not be the same as a modern one. My good friend reloads the 6.5 for himself and also for me. We have been cautious about approaching a max load, watching for pressure signs from each individual gun. We have had good results so far and they are very accurate rounds. I have some of the Prvi Partizan for the Swede, but I haven't shot them yet. I have heard good reports about this ammo in general.
