Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

No, but I'd bet it's not a 6mm anything. Most are in either 9.3mm or 9.5mm, and the lengths can vary. You'll need to chamber cast it to ensure what caliber and groove diameter it really is. It might be the unusual 8.6mm, or that might mean it's an 8.6mm groove diameter.
Mine is a 9.5x51R and I use .38-55 brass shortened and a .375" bullet. Yours could be a 57, 62, or even longer case. 
These are very neat guns, and fairly rare in the USA. There's 3 or 4 of us here at ASSRA who have them, and have been working up loads for them. Most were the 9.3 version if I recall.

With that groove diameter it sounds like one of the 8s that the 33 was chambered for -  8X42R, 8X57R/360. A chamber cast would be the first thing to do. Found this on the 8x42R:
"I think you first need to make a chamber cast... as I see different dimensions for the 8X42R case...
Ex;
Base; 0.488" to 0.467"
Rim dia; 0.5701" to 0.524"
Rim thickness; 0.055" to 0.049" 
So, my choice would be to start with easy to get, inexpensive 7.62X54R cases as per CIP specs;
Base; 0.487" max / 0.483"
Rim dia; 0.570" max
Rim thickness; 0.063" max / 0.053" min
If you already have the dies, it would be pretty easy to try it.... the other case I'd try would be the .303 Brit.."
Of course if it is the 8x57R(360) the base case would be a 9.3x72R.

That is an interesting article. A bit humorous with a running discourse of Monopoly woven in with case measurements.

I wonder if that ".325" bore measurement was slugging the bore, or just dial calipers in the end of the barrel?

es, Just dial calipers in the end of the bore. A fix round of 38-55 will chamber with no problem, I have not made a chamber cast but i will put the information here. A couple more shot's of the marking. Thanks for any help, Bonner

A half stock version too! Most I've seen were full stocked forearms. Pretty neat rifle!
Guessing the bore will be a fair bit larger groove than the .325" given by dial calipers.

One of mine is 9.3X57R, same as English  360, 2 1/4. I got it at an auction. It was listed as 9.3X57 cal in the guide. No R. Big difference. 

I knew what I was looking at but there were others that didn't. One must be careful.

Bet I know where you got it! Have you been attending the Montrose auctions lately? Recently they have had lots of rollers. I picked up a nice model 53 win couple weeks ago and they also had another Husky.
