Previous M95 straight-pull Mannlichers I have handled have a bolt-head which can be turned with the fingers till it locks in line for insertion in the receiver. I wonder if anybody knows the answer to a problem I have. If the supply of clips dries up, eBay has some, but watch out for ludicrous pricing. The Romanian version of the 6.5x53R has some interchangeable parts, but not all. Numrich are pretty good on parts for the M95, including clips. 330-245-GC in the Portuguese Guedes, and while many say NEI aren't like they were in their Walt Melander years, they presumably use the same tooling and most of the time don't misuse it. 338 bullets, even jacketed, to the necessary. Moulds are available, and you can size down. It is arguable that the 8x56R is a better cartridge, with its longer neck. Maybe there are markings you can fine out about online, but failing that you need a chamber cast. You should check, though, that it hasn't been rechambered for the 8x56R Hungarian round, after that country split away from the former Empire. With cast bullets you wouldn't want lube grooves or paper patching exposed behind the neck, and grooves exposed in front would have to be carefully protected from dirt or loss of lube. The short neck of the 8x50R isn't the best. 303 being the best starting point, as it was and is frequently done in the UK.īoth are extremely good rifles, without a record of defective manufacture that I know of. I would neck-size as much as I can, and anneal the shoulder now and again. smaller in the shoulder diameter, which might impede chambering, but more likely won't. Just looking at the database in my "Loads from a Disk", the rimmed round seems about. The 6.5x54 is thinner in the neck, different accounts varying as to how much. Have fun.Probably you can, but it would be useful to hear from someone who has done it, exactly how that pans out with the Lee dies. If you don't want to pay $180.00 dollars for the 6.5 Dutch dies, you can use 6,5 x 54 Mannlicher dies fro Lee and form brass from 303 British brass. Lee makes a mold just for it and they usually have the mold in stock. They usually will have the 8mm dies and brass. Grafs should have just about everything you will need.
