I am about to complete a 6.5x55 on a commercial LR action w/ a take-off Apex tube trimmed to 21".

Does anyone have modern accuracy loads? I am not a speed freak, but don't want to handicap the rifle w/ overly slow speeds. On the other hand, I'll take accuracy over speed any day of the week.

I have 140 gr Interlocks & 130 gr NABs but would also like to try 120 NBTs & 129 gr SSTs. I have Rl15, IMR 4350, 7828, Rl22, Hunter, and Magnum on hand.

Anyone have suggested loads?
 
My records show from a Ruger 77 Mk II :

140 gr Nosler Partition IMR 7828 SSC, 47 gr 2735 fps and 48 gr 2774 fps. Same bullet with 47 gr H 4831 SC but no speed recorded.
 
46 to 47 grs of one of one of the 4350's and a 120 gr bullet will fill you ticket.
44 to 45 grs of one of the 4350's and a 140 gr bullet will fill your ticket also.
These loads are max for 96 Swede actions and with their long 29" barrel I average 3000 fps with the 120 and 2800 with the 140 gr bullets.
With your short 21" barrel they will be slower but still very respectable and you will not have all the muzzle blast fire ball you can get with the slower powders.
 
Eric, here is some data that may help?

140 Horny's

Code: 
Cartridge          : 6.5 x 55 Swedish
Bullet             : .264, 140, Hornady SP 2630
Useable Case Capaci: 53.207 grain H2O = 3.455 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.150 inch = 80.01 mm
Barrel Length      : 21.0 inch = 533.4 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 60000 psi, or 413 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand

I ran all of the data for 60,000PSI Max.. Let me know if it helps you at all?
 
Use the load recommended by Antelope_sniper. Worked very well for me. One click to the left and deer ready. Now if I could get my Sako 7mm-08 to shoot like this.

Thanks

Although they use exotic powders, these are probably some of the best loads tailored to this cartridge.

In my swedish M96 I've had excellent luck with IMR 4350, Fed 210 Match primers and a 140 gr BTHP CC. Using data from Hodgedon/IMR site. Not pushing anywhere near max charges but the accuracy was definately there and stayed consistent from a couple grains below start load to halfway to max load. Should do well with other 140 grainers as well.
 
My Sako 85 likes 140 AB with 3.100 AOL, Federal large Primer, Lapua brass and N560 48gr. with 22 in tube it goes 2650 FPS. It does not like 130 or 125 gr bullets. 120 gr with 4350 49gr goes 2850 fps.
140 AB shoots very well.

Dang guys thanks a ton! I've got plenty of info here to hold me all winter!

I hope you're all well,

Somethings we just can not leave alone. My Swede is still shooting great with the 130 AB, but a couple months ago, SPS had a bunch of 140 AB blems. Loaded some up last night. Hope to hit the range this weekend.

That 140 gr AB is one LONG bullet. Used RL-22 and IMR-4831. My Tikka liked the IMR-4831 in the 130 gr AB.

Seemed to make sense to keep the same OAL with both weights of AB. Since the 130 gr shoot well, seems intuitive that the same OAL should work for the 140 grs ?

Cheers
 
140 AB works great on deer for me. From 40 yeards to 100 yards. One shot one kill, no deer walked more then 5 steps! I love this bullet for deer hunting. N560 48.5 gr and 23 inch tube it gets to 2690 fps very very accurate. Lapua brass, cci B2 primer col 3.1 inch. This is in a different rifle. NOt Sako 85

Click to expand...

Those 140's should be awsome in your rig.
I would start with the same OAL as well.
