Hi Guys, I recently bought a Tikka T3 for my son in 6.5x55. It has a 22 inch barrel and shoots beautifully with the Hornady 129sst using Norma brass. He has two accuracy nodes, 1 at 48 grains of H4813sc and one at 49.5 grains of H4813sc. The cartridge is to the industry C.O.L. I ma just...

I have been looking at the various reloading manuals and there seems to be some wide ranging expectations around this bullet weight and velocities. Recipes seem to vary from mid 2,700fps up to almost 3,000fps. What is a realistic expectation staying within the Saami limitations? Thoughts?

I also use H4350 at 42 grains. Works a treat and is a sub moa recipe in my wife’s ruger.

I have two 243's and was thinking of rebarreling one and was tossing up 6.5 creedmore or 7mm-08. There is just so much to like about the 7-08 as a hunting round. Congrats to your wife.

Agreed, in the 6mm Rem with 95 and 100 grain bullets it is lethal, and very accurate in my rifle.

Biggest deer locally is the red. I wanted this rifle to be the first one I grab for everything from wild dogs up. 400 yards would be a long shot for the majority of places I hunt.

Mark that is great, thank you. I originally worked up a load using 58 grains of H4813sc which was also very accurate, but was also very compressed. Part of the attraction of the current work up is that there appears to be a fair amount of room in the case. 57 grains will give circa 100fps by...

Mark that is really great, thank you for taking the time to help me out. All the best (y)

Hi Mark, The COAL is 3.33 inches, h2o capacity is right on 72.0 grains filled to the top of the case. Thank you

Thanks JD, it has been a work in progress from a poorly shooting 280rem to where it is today. Just a dud original barrel that had me questioning my capacity to shoot straight and make decent reloads. I am over the moon it is all starting to come together. I think this rifle and I are going to be...

HI Guys, First time poster, long time reader. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with some quickload data for my rifle. It has a 26 inch barrel and I am using H4350 with the hornady 150eldx in nosler brass. It has a really nice sweet spot at 53 grains, but 55 grains is also really...
