I have found a large bag of what looks like new Brass whilst rummaging through a draw.
Any body know who makes it. Its head stamped 6.5x55 RP SWEDISH. No idea were it came from or how long its been there.

I believe it's Remington - I have at least 100 cases myself.

Darn, too slow. RP apparently stands for Remington Peters. So yep, Remington.

It was good enough for me (out to 400m) when I owned a 6.5 Swedish rifle.
