Modern 6.5x55 with Nosler Accubonds...

[dakotaelkslayer]

I have a CZ 550 FS that I used last fall on whitetails. My 100gr. Nosler Ballistic @ 3050fps worked perfectly on shots of 120yds. and 270yds. Thinking about using the rifle for something bigger, so I have a pile of 130gr. AccuBond's stashed at work. Being a new bullet, I can't find any load data for it. Any load suggestions? Powder suggestion for my 20.5" barrel?

Thanks,
Jim

Looking at my nosler manual, the 125g Partition data lists IMR 4350 (most accurate powder tested) starting at 41.5g, max at 45.5 It also lists IMR 4831 starting at 43g., max at 47g. They are getting roughly 2900fps w/the 125g and a 23" tube.

I believe either powder at there starting point would be ok for the 130g AB.

You should probly expect around 2750-2800 as the MAX with the 130g AB and your short 20" barrel.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks! 2700+fps sounds good to me!

Thanks,
