Thread: 6.5x55 tikka t3x

Have been loading up some 6.5se loads. Then ran out of my normal vitavori powder so used some of my 223 benchmark2 powder. Kept with the same120g noslers seemed to shot about same accuracy as the more expensive powder any1 else out the using bench mark2 in there 6.5x55 loads

Thats a fast burning powder for such a big case, even with the relatively light bullets. Will probably find the velocity is way down.

If you want a cheaper powder for the Swede ADI AR2209 is usually the usual go to for most people, Id give that a go.

2209 is my ones food too.

As above, BM2 is way too fast. It's what I could use in my 6.5 Grendel (using CFE223).
For 6.5x55 Swe, I use ADI 2209 for 140gn SSTs and 2213sc for 140gn Rem corelocts.

i have a 2213sc that i need to get sell.

Hey @andyanimal31 what’s your recipe, yours seems to shoot alright?

I use ar 2208 in a sporterised m38, have had no complaint forms filled in from the recieving end about its performance.
