Kingfish,
I noticed ammoman.com has Federal for $12 a box. Hope that that helps. J223 |

Don't know of any surplus. New ammo: Ammunition Store Midway Cheaper Than Dirt |

Igman is so underpowerd it is almost a galley load. Use the Prvi Partisan. Top of the line. ammunitionstore and others caryy it for a good price. |

AFAIK the surplus I'm buying, marked "Prickskytte" is loaded by Norma, and is some of the only remaining surplus for this caliber. I asked a friend what prickskytte means, and he said its sniper or marksman. So far, out of my Swede Mauser, its been nasty accurate. I'm finding it at the local shows for $5-$10, but mostly its in the $9 range. There was an ad in a recent issue of SGN that had 200 battle packs for like $78 shipped.
Another surprisingly good ammo for the 6.5x55 is Wolf Gold. I am shocked by its nice accuracy. I found out its loaded by Prvi Patizan, and they have a good rep. I can get it for around $10 per 20, same for the SP load. I want to get my grubby hands on both the PMC Silver and Federal Gold Medal SMK loads. |

Why buy overpriced surplus, when you can roll your own.

I have some of the Swedish surplus and find that it shoots like match ammo, kind of like the Swiss and their GP11, pricey but worth it for accuracy. |

I would avoid the Swede made surplus, it has a bad rep for poor storage. the Hirtenberger that came in tha battle packs that was made in the 60's and 70s's is the stuff everyone like so well. I have a bunch but save it and reload. |

NOT the best value though. FNM either from there, or a case rate from Cole Distributing, shoots at least 50% better in my Swedes. Igman has also had misc cases all sooty like they never really sealed right in the chamber. |

New FNM is made by Igman. Sad, it used to be great ammo. |

Darn, I already ordered the Igman. I'll shoot it up and then buy the better stuff.
Where can I find the Wolf Gold? |

Unfortunately, they are discriminating against me since I live in Annapolis, Maryland and they won't send ammo to me because I live about 25 miles from DC. |
