6.5x55 brass
So, my father has a Rem 700 in 6.5mm, the "Classic" I guess.
So we were working up some loads for it, and it looks like the cases (Remington, I believe) were actually modified 30-06 cases, b/c the web area would blow out to true Swede dia, with fairly mild loads.
So, Q: where can I get 6.5 Swede brass, to CIP dimensions?

Never had an ounce of problems with using Winchester 6.5 x 55 brass, in a push feed Winchester action.

Claw extractor Mausers or Ruger, it doesn't matter really.

Actually the taxes is not soo bad in Sweden as they are in Denmark, Finland, Iceland or Norway.

Well I guess you pay alot of tax in California? I guess you have to pay school tax, realestate tax, income tax, perhaps state and federal? What do you get for these taxes?

I spent quite some time in USA (i got relatives there) and this is not the first time the comparison is made. Have you ever been to Sweden or perhaps lived here?

We do alot in the USA that your country could never dream of! Nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, manned spaceflight etc..

Never been to Europe, I don't go anywhere that requires "permission" never had a passport, or a visa!
