Thread: Another 260 Improved

Am I missing something or are you getting these speeds with a normal swede? I've recently started playing with 140s - VLDS, SSTs, Gamekings and soon to try Partitions. Accuracy has been good but speeds are more like 2650. This is with 2209, 44.5gn. Most accurate load more like 43.5 at 2590

Stay in touch with @GWH and he can fill you in with his findings when trying some different powders. N560 is a popular swede fuel....

Don't push the military type action Swedes. Only chase velocity with the 6.5x55 in modern actions.

If yours is an ex military action your speeds are sitting about right.
