<lorvan>6.5x55
do anyone know how I can reload a subsonic cartridge for my CZ scandinavia in 6.5x55?

PyrotekI found some loads on the Lyman 47th manual, they were originally for 143 grain cast lead bullets, they are all minimum loads, test barrel is 23.5".
Red Dot : 7.0 grain, 1135fps
700X : 7.0 grain, 1135fps
PB : 8.0 grain, 1145fps

<lorvan>I have seen, but 1135 is over sound velocity that is about 1000 fps. I would silencer my rifle, for experimental, naturally, and those are supersonic reloads, is not true?

PyrotekThe projectile is 142 grain for the above load, increase the weight to 156 or 160 grain
should help a lot, I am not sure if it's safe to cut the load down as it's already minimum.
Don't use a filler to enhence the ignition, the filler will destroy the silencer when filler granules are shot out.
