Thread: 6.5x55 142gn Accubond Long Range loads

Hi Guys

So I am really liking the ELDX 143 in my tikka 6.5. Got some really good groups yesterday and also decent speed. I did a graph! But it might be hard to read, I'll chuck it up anyway. Looks like I'm going to be looking at 46.5-47.0 gn 2209 for something in the region of 2700. COAL for these was 3.034 which gives full neck contact. Much better accuracy with these projectiles than I ever got with the 129 SSTs.



Slight complication added by the fact that I got to the end of one powder lot before I'd finished making up these loads. So I duplicated the 45.0 load in the new lot to make sure it was close to the old one. The last two groups were with the new lot. Funnily enough the duplicate 45.0 fills in a step in the graph - was noticeably faster than the older lot.

cheers
