I've had my best luck with Sierras 140 and 142 grain bullets. I've also used IMR 4831 with the above with really good results. Mine were fired through original Swede barrels so may not work as well in more modern tubes. | |||

I'm using Northfork 120 HP bullets and am very satisfied in all respects so far. IMR-4350 seems to work well too. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

A deadly accurate load which knocks down pretty much everything from coyote to moose is the following: 155 grs Lapua MEGA over 42.3 grs N 165, using Lapua brass and CCI BR2s, COL 2.900" fired from an 1899 m96 Oberndorf | |||

125 grain Partitions with Reloader 19 shoot well in my Remington Classic 6.5x55. | |||

Norma brass 46 grains RE22 210 primer Hornady 140 grain SP interlock seated at 2.99" overall length Case trimmed to 2.16" every load measured, I get 3/4" groups at 100 yards Chronoed at c2600fps in a Sako 75 Hunter - same as you effectively | |||

I use almost the same load... Lapua brass trimmed to min length (2.165") 46.5gr RE22 (every load measured) 140gr Hornady SP Interlock Fed 210 Primer OAL 2.95" with medium crimp in cannelure (via Lee Factory Crimp die) Moderate load that is accurate and consistent in my CZ550 FS. Hammers whitetails. BH1 There are no flies on 6.5s! | |||

I like 120 gr Nosler BT with H4350 in my Swedes for paper. The 129gr or 140 gr Hornady SP with R22 works very well on deer. So far I can`t tell the difference in performance on deer with either of these two bullets. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?
