So myself I would always choose 6.5×55 first, even though I also enjoy having the 6.5×57 very much.Arrow_back Returns To All Sold Items arrow_back Return To Sold Fine Modern ArmsĪction Type: Bolt Action with Removable Magazine The 6.5×57 in theory can even handle a bit more powder and pressure than the 6.5×55. The 6.5×57 is factory loaded even lighter than 6.5×55 in most cases, and it is hard to say that this is reasonable. They offered plenty of very good heavy loadings, like Norma Oryx 156 gr, Norma Vulcan 156 gr, Lapua Mega 155 gr, which truly made the 6.5×55 a big game round and at the same time also enabled it to survive along with much stronger calibers floating about nowdays. And besides the hunters themselves, it was also well supported by big ammo manufacturers, like Norma. While in scandinavia the 6.5×55 had always been a big game round. As a result the cartridge did not suvive large wild boar populations boom as there was not a lot of suitable ammo about anymore. Unfortunately RWS stopped making it sometimes in 97' or 98'. It was praised by german hunters as a very good round also for wild boar, which started to appear in large numbers in europe in 80ies and 90ies. The only heavier load was RWS H Mantel 155 gr. The selection of ammo was available in light of this. The germans however mainly used the 6.5×57 for lighter deer species. But it was not used in the same way in these countries as the swede was in scandinavia. It was a really popular round in Germany and Austria in the 60ies and 70ies.

This coupled with somewhat poor factory ammo selection would put the swede on the top of my list.

The Steyr in 6.5×57 is the looker of the two, but the 6.5×57 seems to be much more fussy about different ammo and also homeloads. The Blaser shoots everything accurately and to pretty much the same POI. I have a Blaser R8 6.5×55 and a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus 6.5×57.
