Thread: 6.5x55 SE Sanity Check

Magnetite,
Years ago I got a distinction for biometrics. However I am pleased I didn’t read your post last light half gorged on Shiraz!

While I’m not totally sure I followed your path as you walked it it think you arrived at the right place.

If I followed Erik right after testing for ES and in particular two loads a increment apart worth low Ed he then drill into the space just under the higher load to check precision and then works on seating depth if needed.

Stability I think is determined upfront by powder selection? Burn rate and temp stability. All being equal slow burning and higher case fill% more stable. Your experience may differ?

The other powder to try in the Swede with 140s if available is RL22. It can be rocket fuel in some cases. I really like RL powders despite the supposedly greater temp sensitivity.
