Nothing that I have heard

Heard rumor of 6.5×55 maybe coming to The States….

the 6.5×55 would be my favorite round, if the twist rate on the barrels is capable of stabilizing 140 gr Berger vlds or even 140 hybrids.  My Ideal rifle is a 24″ 6.5X55 improved set up for long VLD's.

6.5mm 140 Berger VLD's want a twist of 1:8, I'm looking at a box in front of me right now. Also, I was JUST on the Tikka site and they have a twist of… 1:8 on the 6.5×55

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, be happy? Unless of course Robert's just decided to mess with us and it's all a joke.

I've seen me do it… But maybe I'm not?

Hehe jokes are fine, but unless the 6.5×55 is avail in 1:8 twist and heavier than light (even light) I am not going to be able to get it past the gate keeper.
