Thread: 6.5x55 142gn Accubond Long Range loads

Nosler do seem to seat the bullets rather short could be why the loads are lighter than expected, My Sako 75 shot 140 grain bullets with 46.6 grains of 2213sc at 2650fps with no pressure signs seating was 3.142" with no regard to
jump to rifling accuracy was .5 MOA and less for 5 shot groups, I did not have much luck with 2209 in any of the six 6.5x55's I have had even the 19.75" Husky I had for a hunting rifle,
Are you sure the Accubond will expand enough at the velocity from a 6.5x55 I thought that the accubonds were designed for magnum velocities,
I load 180 gr .30 cal Accubonds for a couple of guy's shooting 300 Win Mags and they perform well but they are going up to 300fps faster than what they would in a .308, I don't think the 6.5 Swede needs
anything that tough the new Hornady ELD-X would probably be a better projectile.
