WHAT NO 6.5 X 55 LOADS??
Doesn't anyone shoot the old stuff?

From a rebarreled winchester featherweight, with a factory laminate wood stock with a 26 inch PacNor barrel, 1 in 7.5 twist. Long throat.

44 grains W748
120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip or
125 grain Nosler Partition
Fed 210 Primer
Winchester Brass

3250fps.

Who needs a magnum ( 264 mag this time) ???

129 grain Hornady SP
Same as above: 3100 to 3150fps.

I've found that a 142-grain Sierra Matchking or 140-grain Hornady A-Max pushed by 47.5 grains of H4831SC is hard to beat as the accuracy load in this cartridge.
