Thread: 6.5x55 loads in a T3?

47 today you old bugger

Thank you to everyone for posting their loads - it's always better to hear from people what has worked well for them - tells a lot more than a reloading manual does in some ways. Will probably take a while, but I'll update the group on what ended up working for me as well. If there're any other loads that someone feels like posting happy to hear them - someone else will undoubtedly have a use for them as well.

143gr ELD-X and Reloader22 gives me 2570 at the muzzle. That equates to 1150 ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards. It’s a good load, very accurate. Has killed plenty of deer and goats out to 400.

46.5 of 2209 behind a 140 game king 2840fps
Same of W760 behind a 130 scirocco 2890fps
Out of a 21.5” barrel. Both pretty warm just got to find what works best in your rifle
