Thread: 6.5 Swede loads

2700 I meant

hows the groups looking beavis??? mite have to give it a go

Are you using normal primers or magnum ones?

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.

Just standard ones Toby.

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

the work on game, yet to have any thing get up, have taken wallys at 1000 with them

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

Mate uses them in his bro, deer dont like em

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.

jase

maybe ill buy some more amax, should stop reading these yank websites.

Don't read yank fudd boards. Snipers Hide is good value.

Just had some 123gr SST's and some shiney new brass turn up. Will load em up with 2209.

Have nationals this weekend, so will be to busy either celebrating or crying into my beer to get out and shoot.
Will get out the weekend after and see how they go

the 123 amax with a flat 48grns of 2209 , federal match primer are fast and exceptionally accurate in my Sako.
Usual disclaimer about the amount of powder.
