    6.5x55 &130gr bergers

    I have a tikka 6.5x55, was wanting to try some new loads for it. Just wondering if anyone is using the load that tracy short advertised in the rod and rifle a while back? Think it was 53gr of re17? Does this sound right to you guys? Anyone else using 130s?

    I tried 50gr R17 in a T3 after reading that write-up, blew primer, clocked 3117fps. Advice - don't go near 53gr! 45gr/2209 was sweet.

    Surely there must have been the usual work up disclaimer ?
