Pecos6.5-06 Ackley 40 degree loads
OK folks, I would like a little help if you please. While I have the facilities and equipment to develop loads, I would like to speed up the process a bit due to a trip coming up in 2 weeks.
I would like some load info using the 95 grain VMAX, Nosler 125 grain Partition and Hornady 129 grain bullets.
I found some great loads in the reloading section for 140 grainers.

Tim in TNPecos, Try 60-61gr. RL25 behind those 125-129gr. pills. works REAL good for me, my rifle has a long throat, and will digest 62 with a 120. I use 60 with the 140`s. Best powder I`ve tried so far.

HunterJimPecos,
I used Norma MRP with the 125 Nosler in my 6.5-06 -- which is *not* an improved chambering. 55.0 gr was very accurate, and 57.0 was a bit too hot for this rifle. The barrel is a Shilen 9" twist and seems to be on the tight side.
I also have about 240 Nosler 125s left in my stash if you need some bullets at a good price. I am using the Swift bullet now.
