Thread: 6.5X55 ADI 2208 load help! Please

My Sako 75 6.5x55 likes 139 Scenars and 46.6 grains of 2213sc velocity is 2597fps also barnes 120TSX and 45.5 grains 2209 velocity 2987fps both loads are not hot in my rifle but work up if you try them,
tried 2217 but it is too slow lots of unburnt powder left in barrel, have shot the 139 Scenars to over 2600fps got some pressure signs and backed off, if you want a good bush load get some Norma 156 RN Lapua MEGA 156 or Hornady 160 RN they have a .377 BC and will penetrate a Deer end to end at 2400fps I have shot 1 hole groups with the Norma,
the 6.5x55 is one of the easiest calibre's to get accurate loads for just stick with medium slow powder and medium to heavy bullets.
