2209. And the Targex 140gn projectiles are definitely worth a try - accurate, kill well, local, and a tad cheaper than all ELDX/ELDM type projectiles.

I use both 2209 and 2213sc in my Tikka, another powder well suited to the 6.5’s is Winchester Staball 6.5 has a burn rate similar to 2209.

I found my t3 prefered lighter pills. Around the 120gn mark. I use 2209

Just an update have loaded up 8 rounds of 55.5gr and 56gr. Considering it only has a 22.5" barrel I am pretty happy with sitting just on or just under 3000fps with acceptable accuracy. If they group...

@ Rated M for Magnum Correct it is a hunting rifle. Probably 400 metres at the absolute max depending on the animal in the crosshairs. Will definitely sling some more lead to see if I can refine it.

This is not correct, if it is a factory 6mm Remington, its a 1-9 twist or there about, the 6mm Remington was first called a .244 Remington and was 1-12 twist and wont stabilize over about 90gr...
