Thread: 6.5x55 Load info

If you want to extract the full potential from the 6.5x55 in modern actions N560 is probably the top of the heap.

I use N560 and Norma cases. 139 grn Amax.
2840fps from 21.5" barrel and consistently small groups.

The down side is that N560 is a bit expensive.

For modern rifles start 140 grain projectiles at around 46 grains N560 and creep up. It works with 120 grn Nosler BT too. Expect 2900fps plus from 120grn.
