Someone with a computer loading program...

Just curiosity, looking for pressure information

Cartridge: 6.5x55 Swede Mauser
Bullet: Barnes-X 120gr Flat Base
Propellant: IMR4831
Charge Weight: 49.0grs

Primer is a CCI BR2 if it matters.
Norma Case if it matters.

this is book max in the Barnes 3rd edition loading manual.

I get 60,398 psi.

2999fps and 2397 ft-lbs out of a 23" barrel as an aside.

Ahhh.... doesn't sound like a typical barnes suicide for dummies load....


what is that in CUP?

52,000-ish?

Though I sometimes wonder about the factory swede military factory loads, I have never once seen ANY handload
flatten the primer cups like the factory ammo does....

Makes me wonder just how hot that factory ball ammo really is...
