PPU brass 6.5 x55 ?

[waco]

My brother and I bought 100pcs of PPU in .338 Lapua to save some $$$
I'm only on my second reload now......Time will tell.

I've used almost a dozen different PPU loads, .308, .243, 7mm-08, 7mmRem Mag, 22-250, 223, the list goes on. All of it is good stuff. In fact, I'm trying to get them to make a 35 Remington offering. If you don't like it, send it my way.

PPU being a European (native metric user) uses all CIP and European standards for the brass that originated in that part of the world.
You will find that 6.5X55, 7X57 and 7.65 Mauser brass all have different heads that the American versions and may need a different shell holder.
Norma brass also varies from US brass when the US standards are different from the Europeans.
You may find that Norma 7X57 rims will bend when using the American size shell holders.

Not an answer to the original question, some American 6.5x55 has .308 heads. European 6.5x55 will probably (should) not fit into a .308/standard shell holder and a correct 6.5x55 shell holder will be very loose on .308/standard case heads. My 6.5x55 has an 8mm bolt face so I use Remington brass with the U.S. case head. I built it on a 98 action.
