    Got a friend that shoots the 129 hornady out of his tikka with the 2213 with good accuracy, not what you asked for but an option.

    I'm up to 46.5gr of 760 for around 2500fps. Still no pressure signs.

    A max's are brutal on game. Haven't personally shot anything with them, but the internet says they're awesome.

    That 46.5 load shot a decent group. The accuracy nodes are spaced quite far apart. I have really just been looking for my rifles max and fire forming my brass.

    140gr SST, Virgin Lapua brass and Remington 9.5 primers. Results over the chrony are consistent with low ES and SD.

    Im new to reloading but my best groups so far from my howa 6.5 were from r-19 45.0 grains pushing 130 grain serria hpbt gamekings about 2600 fps.
    have tried ar2208 with 140 grain a max and interbonds cant get as tighter groups as i have with r19. I got put off the a max rounds cause i got told i shouldnt be hunting with them, apparently they are designed for punching paper.
    Hey diddle diddle, aim for the middle.

    Always found they are easy to get shooting. Have used them in .308 and 6mm.

    Amax in 6.5 are exceptional on deer at any distance that I know of from 400 back to 30 yds,there only draw back is there not always easy to get.Having just bought a sweede that I didn't want to re load for.............well reading this thread makes me think twice,but im going to try some other projectiles as I know how great Amax are so I might give those Sierra HPBT Gamekings in 130gn a go. ill use 2209 as its the most consistant powder ive used and maybe just simple to touch the lands then just back of a touch should do the trick.
