Good. Have shot a lot of Swedes over the years, M96 and bolt actions, the Lapua brass is outstanding. You will have to use a RCBS #3 Die because the Lapua brass has a wee bit larger head diameter than Winchester or Remington brass....use can use a #2 on those. Personally, if I were going to build the 6.5x55 the barrel listed below would be sold. Very fair price and CBI makes a very good barrel.
