I understand the manufacturers fear of over pressure, and since there will be some moron that puts modern ammo in an old rifle I can’t blame manufactures. I do know that with handloading I can get 2850 to 2900 FPS with a 140 gr bullet with the 6.5x55 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

2200 was a measured number using a magnetospeed crono I was astonished And there was some variance but the avg was slightly above 2200 But lowest was at 2200 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you reload the 6.5 x55 (long action) performs better than the 260 in modern rifles. The factory loads for the Swede are abysmal with numbers I measured for Winchester white box 140 gr advertised as 2500 or so actually measured at 2200. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
