   With those I use 37grs 2206h and just tried 2208 40.5grs, which I'm changing over to, softer shooting. 2209 didn't work for me. P14 too.

   Quite true my load for my Tikka in 6.5 x 55 is full, can't hear the powder, but I use a slow burning powder and it has a stronger action.

   define "lots of room left" from my understanding of things the fuller the better to be sure BUT above say 70% is pretty normal and fine...IF you get less than 50-60% fill you can get flame from...

   With the 6.5x55 at least book loads assume you have a swedish m1896 action. The m 38 is quite a bit stronger and modern rifles stronger again.

   Quickload says Max with 2206H and 180 gn projs is 42.0 gn's for nearly 2600 fps (from a 24.5" barrel) - a very snorty but well balanced load I'd say with all powder burnt - Its MAX so work up to it....
