[Redbeard80]

Hey, guys I did a seach and have not found much for the 6.5x55. I am working up some loads for my new rifle and would like to know what you guys have had for success. I know their are a few 6.5x55 shooters out there. I have reloader22, H1000, h4831sc.thanks

Don't know what bullet, brass, barrel nor length of such...never mind the primer nor other small stuff. RL 22 works here. JMHO

140 Amax is what I am using. For primers I have rem.lr and fed. gm210m., lapua brass, 24" brux 1-8 twist. I have tried h4831sc and RL22 with 210m primers. Most shot 1moa or a little better at 100yds. I am going to load some up a little hotter and see what it will do the best was a just over 1/2moa with Rl22 but was just going 2580fps.
I forgot to say modern action, it is a Rem.700

Have shot 6.5x55 for a long time. Now shooting a 6.5x55 bj improved. Really a good round. I am loading 125 partions at over 3100. Had it up to 3200 with no psi signs. Backed of to 3100 because I did not see a reason to push the envelope. I really like the 6.5x55 in a modern action.

What is your charge with RL-22? My M96/ not modern enough/ shoots 140 a-max at 2900 fps with RL-17 nad 22
