I tried out the Satterly 10 Round Load Development Ladder on three different powders for my new Barrett 6.5x55 Swede. Found three definite flat spots around 2,945 fps. I did not observe any pressure signs on the primer or bolt lift. But I would be interested in what Quickload shows. Is it possible to get an idea what I am working with even though this is a hand swaged bullet that probably isn't in Quickload? I would really appreciate it if someone would be so kind to run the numbers on these three loads, if possible.
Cartridge: 6.5x55 Swede
Rifle: Barrett Fieldcraft
Barrel length: 24 inches
Bullet: 135 gr. BIB Hollow Point, Boat Tail, Match Bullet
Brass: Lapua
Primer: CCI200
Load 1: 49.9 gr. Reloader 19 velocity was 2,945 fps
Load 2: 48.8 gr. Reloader 22 velocity was 2,943 fps
Load 3: 49.7 gr. Viht N560 velocity was 2,944 fps
Thanks,
Duane
