Thread: Nearly choked in my Latte

Acquired another 6.5, this time a 6.5x55 T3 Tikka, bought it to get the scope and then onsell the rifle, but decided I quite liked the way it "felt", so thought I'd give it a chance, bought some Superformance 140SST cause I wasn't gonna invest in dies and cases until I had a better feel for it.

Superformance my arse! 2500fps!. Stopped after the first 3 rounds, went home and pulled the projectiles, weighed the charges, sacrificed one round to be the powder doner, and rebuilt the remaining loads, got them up to 2850 and just starting to get extractor, so backed it up to 2800 even and the thing shoots really well, like the fact this rifle likes the 140's because my .260 doesn't (it likes the 120's and 130's)

So, who is running what loads in 6.5x55 and killing cleanly at what ranges?
