Use vice grips to pull bullets, use powder as fertilizer, hit a 30 cal bullet with a ball peen hammer into the neck to resize case, add powder and bullet of your choice. Easy as pie |

I am under the impression that all 6.5 *55 Swedish ammo is non corrosive, and that it's the same brass as standard.
I still have a bunch of it with the tiny FMJ pill. |

To hell with that. Wow. I went ahead and ordered 4,800 rounds after checking this video - I already own both full-size dies and a Lee Loader in 6.5x55. It's a fun round to load and shoot. Most of my recipes used 4064 powder.  Reloading Swedish wooden bullets (6.5x55) ETA there is a blank-firing attachment for the Model 96 or 38 (etc.) rifle that breaks up the wood bullet. I don't have one. |

I fired a 100-rd linked chain of wood tips through a minigun that was being sold one Saturday evening back in 1984 at a place called Cadre Supply at 51st & Memorial Dr, Tulsa..
Still remember the price; $40,000 plus stamp. A local cardiologist was buying it to mount on top of his Hummer. |

I've read that this shouldn't be reloaded to anything close to full power specs. Supposedly the cases are rejects from regular production.

I have tumbled the semi-corroded cases in Lemi-shine for 15 minutes, and they stay waterproof.
Best way I've found to pull the bullets is with a Hornady Cam-Lock bullet puller. I think I used a 5.56 collet for extra bite into the wooden bullet. You can expand the necks to 7.5 French MAS with the tapered mandrel on the LEE die set. I used Imperial Sizing Wax in the necks to help prevent splitting. This is not virgin brass, and I did end up splitting 1 in 20 or so case necks. If you want to reload the Berdan case and have Berdan primers, the case decaps nicely with the hydraulic method. |

if your buying them thinking they will put rounds on paper they will not. even without the shredder attachment the will break apart almost immediately leaving the barrel.

Yes, their only real use in their original state IMO is introducing women and children (and Swedish recruits) to the function of a bolt-action rifle. I have fired Swedish wooden blanks before. You can't hit shit with them. |

Mix from 1907-1981 I haven't had problems shooting it after reloading yet. An aside note about old ammo - The oldest factory ammo I have ever fired was 6.5x55 with headstamps from 1906 and 1907 that a couple of my friends and I found at a strange little gun store that went out of business long ago. We shot it in about 2004. It was a little green on the outside, but out of about 30 rounds there was only one outright dud and one really scare hang-fire - Imagine a half-second delay between CLICK and BANG.
It was quite accurate in Model 96 rifles, though the velocity seemed a bit slow. I think it was a double-based powder because it had that nitroglycerin smell you get from old .303 British ammo. We assumed it was corrosive and took appropriate measures. |

The results of the corrosiveness test may take a few days to be sure. (I fire primers onto non-galvanized steel nails and let them sit in the garage.) I just got a UPS delivery notice - My package is supposed to arrive on Thursday, 2/16. That's pretty quick for ammunition (and at $82.82 for delivery it should be quick.) |
