Thread: 6.5x55 SE Sanity Check

Greetings Magnetite,
I have replied to my own thread so you should find it on page 1 now. Extrapolating from my own results with a standard T3 Lite barrel (570 mm I think) 47.5 grains of AR2209 would give you about 2,900 fps with the 129 grain and is likely too hot. I chronographed 50 grains of AR2213SC behind the 129 grain at 2,800 fps so 50.5 grains should give you about 2,830 fps. The 1996 data you quote appeared in their pamphlet in 1986 and the AR2209 in 1984.
Regards Grandpamac.
