6.5 x 55 Berger 140GN BT Loads
Hello
Hoping someone can help, looking to find any suggested loads for my 6.5 x 55 using the Berger 140GN BT target rounds.
I will be using Lapua brass.
Rifle is a Blaser R8 running a match barrel and 2.5-15 x 44 Z6 Swaro.
Looking to shoot 500 yards and then work out further.
Thanks in advance

Even though I have a 6.5x55 I can't really help you.

These guys might though. http://forum.accurateshooter.com

With 140 bullets my accuracy loads are:
CCI BR2 primers with all loads

H4831 47.0-48.5 grs.
VV165 49.0-50.0 grs.
RL 22 46.0-48.0 grs.
H1000 51.0-52.0 grs. (My favorite and most consistent accuracy load.)

And a nice mild load of 39.5-40.0 grs. of RL 15 with a Winchester Large rifle primer, mild load but performs well in most 6.5x55's
