    What you're looking for is 6,5x55 SKAN which is updated specs for modern barrels like your blaser.

    https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading.../?cartridge=70

    There is reloading data but I haven't seen it in factory ammo. Google will show many threads on the skan. Let us know if you find a factory product.

    I think Norma sell a 120gr cartridge but for the most part 6.5 = 140gr.
    The 6.5 really comes into it's own when you hand load though.
    If you don't already then now is the time to start, take the money you saved on that barrel and get going!☺

    I will be trying a selection of ammo in 140gr , but will buy a packet of this 120 gr superperformance to see if it will shoot lighter projectiles , but it is super expensive .
    Not the sort of stuff to practice with

    FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA
