Yep second that, 85 - 87 gr pills and things out front fall over.. end of story. I do run 105-108gr pills in my custom 243 but in reality for goat and fallow deer they are too big. The 75 gr work...

Get a new model 308... it is called a 243. Some times you can never get over that recoil fear. Been there. Started off with a BSA CF2 270. It could slay deer. But it was heavy and I grew to hate that...

the superpreformance in 308 is shocking from what I have seen.....use 110grn pills and it nearly is a 243......same as 270 with 110s recoil goes waaaay down.

Quite rewa , a modern 6.5x55 rifle loaded with a decent amount of 2209 using a 120gr Nosler at circa 2950 at sensible ranges is very effective Been using 6.5x55 since the 90's , the only weight...

It maybe, but It has an SD of zero. That’s unheard of consistency.

but the paper died so all is not lost...asumably projectile is traveling as some speed as it reached 100yards,thats a very dead animal with all groupings.

Everyone seems to think 2209 is the go to ADI powder for sub 140gr projectiles in the 6.5x55. 2213SC worked really well for the 129gr Interlock. The siren of accuracy was calling, so I thought why...

Same rifle, same accuracy, 140 AMax or Berger or SST, N560, 2840fps Bloody wonderful. If it wasn't illegal to only own one gun, this would be my only one.
