Looks like one extra step in the loading process than what we are used to. After resizing they want us to bell the case mouth before seating a bullet. Dies and data should be out fairly soon. All the cases will be reloadable except the Fusion load which has a cheaper case, hope they change that...
They all will work fine, pick the one you like the best and go from there. The 35 Whelen has the advantage of factory loads and properly head stamped brass if that matters to you. The 8mm-06 is a cool round too. There are a few guys on here that shoot that cartridge.
Are you able to load out past 2.8"? The Accubond will be a bit longer than that when loaded out so the ogive is out of the neck portion. Very cool sounding gun you have there!
Just a thought here, maybe you know someone locally that could load a few of those up and see how they group out of their gun. Not sure what twist they need for them but it could give you some answers.
I'm not planning on anything at the moment but there are a few new interesting left hand rifles out this year. The CVA bolt gun is now coming in a lefty and Savage has a couple of new variants that are intriguing.
What I really would like to see is Weatherby offering an affordable LH option...
Pretty crazy that the 95 gr VLD shot so bad not sure what to make of it since everything else shoots lights out. With a 0.7" group at 300 yards you definitely have a great load, awesome group! The 87 gr V MAX will an excellent predator load for you.
A Tikka 6.5x55 uses the exact same 1 in 8 twist barrel that they use in the 6.5 Creedmoor, 260 Rem or 6.5 PRC. The accuracy potential is exactly the same with any of them. I have loaded the 143 gr ELD-X in ours and it will handle any other high BC bullet that the others will handle.

Certainly a step above the 6.5 Creedmoor in performance with its bigger case capacity. My wife's Tikka is a 6.5x55, lots of room in the magazine too. Great brass available as well, you'll love it!
An interesting mix of old and new. I'm not a fan of the typical chassis type stock but see why they are popular with all the adjustability. Guess I'm becoming an old Fudd lol. The only one I like is the MDT Hunt 26 folding stock.
This one they call a hybrid stock and blends some of the old...
On YouTube I've seen some videos where guys are having success with the 165 gr ABLR at higher elevations in both the 270 Win and WSM. It will be borderline but might work for you.
FWIW I tried the 165 gr ABLR factory load in my 6.8 Western and they didn't group well. Even though they were...
Those left hand 325 WSM's are hard to find, still kicking myself for getting rid of mine years ago. Lots of great bullets out there for the round. Congratulations on a great find!
