Due to the long throating of a factory 6.5x55 I'm a country mile off the lands, but it still should be a sweet spot somewhere between 46 & 46.5 grains
Using Lapua brass, ADI 2209 & federal match primers.

I pulled the last 46.5 gr shot (the high one), and probably some others (looking at you, 47.5).

The *'s are suspicious readings are they are the same as the previous.
