I have a great shooting load with the Berger 140 bullet for my rifle with 48gr of reloder 22. Came across an orange box of the 130gr bullets and thought I'd see how they fly in my Steyr rifle. Any of you fellows loaded this bullet yet?

Should I try reloder 22 with this slightly lighter bullet, thanks FS

We use VV N560 with the 130gr Bergre's, it makes 2850 +/- in most rifles, great out to 800 yards from five different Blase rifles.

Thanks Dave
Don't got none of that 560 powder, got a 2nd favorite powder?

I have had such great luck with RL22 and the 140's that I have not looked at other powders for that combo. To be honest the only powder we ever tried in our 6.5x55's was VV N150 with the even lighter 95gr V-max that I cannot provide more personal experience. Can you get VV powders in Canada?

50gr of RL 17 and the 140gr Accubond and 140gr Berger VLD's works great in my 6.5x284 but have not yet tried the 130's in that rifle.

I too have had very good results with N560 and 129gr Hornady SP's. 48gr N560 give 2735fps ave and sub MOA accuracy.

Faststeel, would RE19 be worth trying? I am getting good accuracy with it and those 120gr TTSX's(but fairly low velocities although I havent really upped the ante with the charges yet).
