I'm not familiar with the 6.5X55 Swiss, though I have a measure of familiarity with the 6.5X55 Swede. Since each rifle is an entity to itself, it is almost impossible to declare beforehand which bullet/load combination will be favoured without testing. In general, I recommend determining the purpose of the load (game (moose, deer, black bear), target, long-range, etc.) and making a choice based on what is sought. In working with newer manufactured rifles and bullets manufactured in recent days, you should have no difficulty selecting one that will work. After you have chosen your bullet, it is almost a certainty that you will be able to find a good load.
From you PM, I assume you are focused on finding a deer load. How did you lock onto the 130 grain weight for a bullet? Are you asking about VihtaVuori because that is exclusively available to you? Or do you have another reason for focusing on that particular brand?
I would prefer a slower powder for that particular bullet weight, both because of case fill and velocity considerations. I lean toward using double base powders in most of my cartridges, though single base powders will give you excellent service. I would be inclined to test N550 or N560 with that bullet weight, if it was available, though I would not be hesitant to test either N160 or N165.
I trust that helps.

QL request Sierra ProHunter 2180,
308 cal, 220gn rn
3006 Springfield
I’d like to see the report which compares the powders.
Wondering if this can deliver a solid package at 50 yards or less. Hoping to get more than 2400fps with the right powder.
Thanks Mark

Bullet : .308, 220, Sierra SPRN 2180
Useable Case Capaci: 59.800 grain H2O = 3.883 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 59250 psi, or 408 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
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
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
9 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Thank you Dr Mike! Wow! Rl26 at 2600fps! Outfitter has cinnamon phase black bears coming in. Looks like 4 to me, all related to the same male. Two cubs in cinnamon with black face and a black momma bear. He’s excited to see the phase start to define his local population

FYI, I loaded up the ladder test for Rl26 and 220gb SPH RN. Will shoot it soon.
Ql suggests 2600fps is doable.
