Title: Companion revolver for my 94 Swede
Post by: Dusty Tagalon on November 15, 2010, 06:39:59 PM: I have ordered an M1887 Nagant to complement my 94 Sewde. I have ordered dies, & brass. Holding off on ordering the lead until I get the revolver, & see what the bore diameter is.

Got the brass in, used my 32/20 dies to load up some test loads.

So do you want me to make Swedish type rye bread at the DoM Muster next year? ;)

Cool gun, I like those Swedish Mausers and the 6.5X55 round.

Problem seems to be with the Lee dies, I believe they were made to work with converted 32-20 cases, don't work so well with the proper cases.

I have a 1918 manufactured Husqvarna, and an original military holster. I couldn't find an 1887, so I settled for a Russian Nagant for a fun piece. BTW; A shooter on The Open Range has a Swede m/1887 and thinks the world of it.

I said the 1887 would be a companion, but the 2 would most likely would not be used to gather. The M1887 would be used by an officer, the 1894 would be used by an enlisted. Putting the 2 to gather speed wise would put me behind a Krag & an 1892 Colt.
