Nope, only had clips for what I actually shot. You might try what I originally did with the 6.5mm and take some dummies to a gun show and see if they slide easily in another type of clip. In the case of the

6.5mm I found brass clips for Springfields worked well enough but the steel ones didn't. Then a few years later I lucked into some real 6.5mm Swedish clips.

You sure your cats will walk all the way to Arkansas and back just to use the litterbox?

6.5 x 55 clips I have :) (great handloading data for the 6.5 x 55 as well !! :) Best ammo for your Sweedish Mauser is the Norma if ya dont handload !

There is nothing close to the .30 Rem. cartridge at all. (10 mm auto, and 40 S&W case were made from the .30 Rem.)

It's been easier to find magazines for my Tokarev SVT (@ $100 piece) than these things......... (and they made a LOT of Model 8's !!)

I always preferred AA3100 and Sierras for mine with jacketed loads. For cast loads a custom LBT mold in either 120 or 140 gr. and Hercules 2400. I forget the exact loads since I haven't loaded in years. Federal LR primers for both.

I always liked the Prvi Partizan from the former Yugoslavia

That's a bitch. See if you can find something wide enough even if it is too tight for the rim thickness. Take out the spring and file the underside of the retaining lips. Reassemble.

? Place is amazing. Used to vacation near them and would drop in. If they ain't got it it ain't around.

I have used them many times but as often as not they don't have what I'm looking for.

try snipped-for-privacy@pahrump.com he's a bit of a pain in the ass, but a great reference.
