    WallyR liked post by sparky1000 On thread : NORMA 6.5x55 HPBT 144 gr - Thoughts please?
    Think I have got it sussed the packets say 9,3grams, which works out to be 143.521gr so I guess its just a slight rounding error and the projectile is most likely the 142gr SMK.

    WallyR cheers for that. For a 30 cal Ill be looking at a 300 win mag or similar and while it may get fed lighter bullets most of the time it's probably better to set it up for the heavier jobbies...
