6.5xxxx question
« on: December 05, 2009, 03:50:38 PM »
So,heres a couple questions, I've been "milling" around(so to speak)for a few weeks now looking at the SSK 6.5JDJ barrel set-up(very impressed with balistics,accuracy etc...)and have also found that the load is proprietary to SSK . I know the round uses the .225 Win.as the base case,open the neck to 6.5 mm fire-form the shoulder up and "viola"(basically).....then I came across this(I forget where I saw it) but..... the 6.5x.225imp.(Ahhh-heavenly rays of sunlight beaming down...) The proverbial lightbulb has gone on and exploded over my head.   
 ----What is the 6.5x.225imp.?---- Is it the same round as the 6.5JDJ, just not "owned" ? Is it ballistically equal  ?  PLEASE-Set me straight......
 I've also found that MGM would prolly do it far cheaper than SSK,not being said that SSK is a quality based co.  I do have a 7x30 Waters from MGM and it shoots great-figured I may try again..... 

 Any input and/or advise on this one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Shane .

6.5JDJ and the 6.5X225IMP are one and the same. I have both, the 6.5X225IMP being a OTT made 20" rifle barrel, the other a SSK 6.5JDJ and use 6.5JDJ dies to load both.

MGM makes fantastic barrels. I own and shoot several of them.
