In addition, our members have shared 68 load recipes. Load Data Community Loads The 8.5x55 Blaser is a relatively modern rifle cartridge developed in Germany, primarily by Blaser, a company renowned for its innovative firearms and ammunition. Introduced in the early 21st century, the 8.5x55 Blaser was created to fill a specific niche in the European hunting market, offering a new caliber with a blend of power, accuracy, and manageable recoil for medium to large game. The design draws inspiration from classic European cartridges, but integrates modern cartridge engineering to optimize performance for long-range shooting and demanding hunting scenarios. Its development reflects the continued quest among European manufacturers to innovate and provide hunters and target shooters with alternatives tailored to specific requirements and preferences. The 8.5x55 Blaser has found its principal applications in both hunting and precision shooting. Within the hunting community, it is highly valued for its versatility across different settings, from dense forests to open meadows. The cartridge is designed to deliver reliable energy at extended ranges, making it a favored choice for hunters pursuing larger European game. At the same time, its impressive accuracy, owing to a carefully balanced case design and bullet selection, allows precision shooters to use the 8.5x55 Blaser for long-range target practice or competitive shooting events. Its compatibility with popular Blaser R8 and R93 rifle platforms further ensures dependable performance. Hunters value the 8.5x55 Blaser for its suitability against a broad spectrum of game species. It is especially effective for medium and large-sized game such as wild boar, red deer, and elk—species common in both Central and Northern European hunting grounds. The cartridge’s design provides a flat trajectory and high terminal performance, ensuring quick and ethical harvests, even at longer distances. The substantial energy delivery at range also lends it to mountain hunting scenarios, where shots often need to be taken across valleys or at uphill/downhill angles. Ammunition reloaders and shooters appreciate the 8.5x55 Blaser for its balance of ballistic performance and shooter comfort. Typical bullet weights for the caliber range from 140 to 180 grains, providing flexibility for tuning loads to match specific hunting or shooting requirements. Lighter bullets are preferred for flatter trajectories and lower recoil in target shooting, while heavier bullets offer deeper penetration and higher energy transfer for larger game. The cartridge utilizes a rimless, bottleneck case design, optimizing reliable feeding and extraction in repeating rifles. Standardized at an 8.5mm (.338 inch) bullet diameter and a 55mm case length, the 8.5x55 Blaser delivers ballistic performance similar to classic magnum cartridges but with more efficient case dimensions and often less perceived recoil, making it appealing for extended range sessions or hunts requiring multiple shots. Its modern engineering, precision chambering, and wide bullet selection make the 8.5x55 Blaser a compelling option for reloading enthusiasts looking to maximize their rifle’s potential across diverse shooting disciplines.

Higher humidity result in more water particles and a slightly larger drag and vice versa. Altitude: Assued altitude for trajectory calculation. Higher altitude results in lower air density and a slightly lower drag and vice versa. OZD: Optimum Zeroing Distance or Most Favorable Zero Range refers to the distance at which a rifle is sighted in so that the bullet's trajectory remains within a defined vertical margin — typically ±4 cm / ±1.75 '' — from the line of sight over a certain range. This means: The shooter can aim directly at the target up to the GEE without adjusting the scope or holdover. Within this range, the bullet stays inside the vital zone (for example, a deer’s kill zone, approximately 8 cm / 3.5'' high). OZD Max Height: Distance at which the max. OZD height is reached and max. OZD height OZD LoS Crossing1: Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the first time OZD LoS Crossing2 (OZD): Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the second time. Typically referred to as OZD OZD Max Distance (OZD): Distance at which the bullet is more than the OZD height below the line of sight

In addition, our members have shared 59 load recipes. Load Data Community Loads The 6.5 x 57 R is a classic rimmed rifle cartridge with origins in early 20th-century Germany. This caliber is essentially the rimmed variant of the better-known 6.5 x 57 mm Mauser, designed specifically to function in break-action and single-shot rifles, as well as combination guns which were popular hunting arms in Central Europe. Its parentage can be traced directly to the Mauser family, reflecting German firearms engineering ideals of accuracy, moderate recoil, and versatility. Since its introduction, the 6.5 x 57 R has established a reputation among European hunters and reloaders for its reliable performance and gentle shooting characteristics—features that have ensured its continued production and steady popularity for more than a century. The primary application of the 6.5 x 57 R centers on hunting. Its moderate chamber pressures and efficient case design make it suitable for break-action rifles, especially the classic drillings and double rifles frequently used in Germany and Austria. Many reloading enthusiasts appreciate the 6.5 x 57 R because it allows them to use a historically significant cartridge with modern performance, especially when tailored loads are carefully worked up. While somewhat overshadowed by newer, high-velocity cartridges, the 6.5 x 57 R remains a favorite for those pursuing medium game in wooded or open territories, blending an excellent balance of power with mild recoil—an ideal combination for traditional stalking or high-seat hunting conditions. When considering target species, the 6.5 x 57 R shines as an all-rounder. It is particularly well-suited for deer, roe deer, wild boar, and chamois, thanks to its flat trajectory and reliable penetration. The caliber’s reputation for accuracy and manageable recoil has led to its selection by many hunters who value placed shots over sheer power. Its adequate energy delivery and penetration capabilities ensure clean ethical kills on animals up to the size of red deer in European forests or open grounds, provided proper bullet selection and shot placement are observed. Its mild report and pleasant shooting characteristics also make it a good choice for younger hunters or those preferring less punishing calibers for extended shooting sessions. Typical bullet weights for the 6.5 x 57 R generally range from 93 to 140 grains, with 120–140 grain bullets being the most common choices for hunting applications. Bullets in this weight class provide a versatile range, covering everything from light varmint work to larger deer species. Standard bullet diameters are .264 inches (6.7mm), allowing reloaders to choose from a wide variety of modern, high-quality 6.5mm projectiles. The cartridge is known for its efficient powder use, mild recoil, and inherently accurate design, thanks to its long, slender profile and well-balanced case capacity. All these traits combine to make the 6.5 x 57 R a favorite among knowledgeable reloaders who appreciate traditional calibers that deliver consistent, predictable results with a touch of historical elegance.
