Has anyone ever used Superior Ammunition for this calibre? I just picked up a little 6,5 Mqannlicher Schoenauer and want to shoot the 160 grs RN

Congrats on your "new" M-S in 6.5x54 M-S! I can't tell you about Superior Ammo's offerings, but I've handloaded for my M-S carbine with Hornady's 160-grain RNs with good success.

Thanks, I have been stil working on your ammo I have not forgotten. It has a Nickl; scope on it too

Good luck with that Rifle. I am part of the 6.5 mm crowd and also the "older European" Mauser and Schonauer stuff. I hope you post your results on line from this season if you use it.

I was once told about Ruger making their RSI in a 6.5 x 54 once, and have been looking for one every since. ( maybe just have to get one rebarreled?)

I have heard this too about the Ruger, I think this is one of those gun myths.

I am in the process of getting the ammo now.

Hope to shoot it next weekend

Aleko, have not used thiers in that caliber, but have used their's in my 450 Nitro, very nice ammo, in my 6.5x54 I have used the Old west Scrounger and it work very well

6,5x54 MS is constantly offered by Hirtenberger, sporadically by RWS, and very rarely by Norma (in the 1990s, they made a run of unprimed brass for the USA, on a wholesaler's order).

Carcano

Heritage:

I found out where I read about the " Special run" Ruger supposedly did on 6.5 x 54s in the RSI model.

Right out of the Sierra load manual on the cartridge! They have load info for it. Not the most recent addition, the last one before that one.

Of course one can just down load their 6.5 x 55 for the same specs. However, I have seen those Mannlicher in other calibers, and they are a class little rifle. I am envious. Good luck with it.

We have talked to the folks at Hirtenberger with no avail. The Norma and the RWS stuff is here and there. I have been told you can make them out of 6,5 Carcano. But the folks at Superior say they can do it. The little 6,5 is sure a neat little round.
