Got out and finally tested my amp annealed norma cases and the 130gn sierra HPBT i bought recently. #The H4831sc powder loads are safe for my rifle only.
Was only testing for safety and to see how they intergrated with my prefered seating depth (im lazy, i opt for .0425" from 'just touch').
Rifle is a 6.5x55 with 28" barrel
1. 45.9gn
2. 46.2gn
3. 46.5gn
4. 46.8gn
5. 47.1gn
6. 47.4gn (might be the winner here)
7. 47.7gn
8. 48.0gn
9. 48.3gn
This was shooting in moronic 4m/s head(ish) wind but you know how it goes. You feel like shootin and who cares what the weather is doing.
P.s didn't bother with my ancient chrony this time. Last time it told me the 147s were doing 2910fts with only 45.8gns of h4831sc. So all that was only good to check rough variation. I know i'd be lucky to be near 2750fts with that.

To all the fellas currently NOT shooting because they're addicted to hornady 143gn ELDX. There are other projectiles out there. Dont get obsessed with BC, as you can see these ugly philips head looking stumpies can pile drive too!
Yes i cut triangle holes in a fruitless attempt to stop the target moving around in the gusts.
