You will get a report for sure.
I'm about to do another 6.5x55AI for my Blaser R8.... I think that maybe Hunty's rifle was my Sako 75 Finnlight with 24" Trueflight Barrel..
I believe that my loads for it were around 50gr of N560 (maybe 50.5gr) for 3050 fps in Lapua brass...
I will make the Blaser barrel standard length of 23" and hope to use the new Nosler LR 129gr (if it ever turns up) in it for 3100-3200....
What's the point of going 6.5x55 ai tho then having to push the shit out of it with n560 and high pressures, the barrel life will be shit and possibly hard to tune. You can go to a 6.5 saum and drive the 130s at 3150 fps from a 24" barrel at only 55k psi, the barrel will last 3k plus rounds with 2217.
Ill do the 223saum on a r93 blaser I think with one of Abe's receivers.
what can you get out of a 6.5 saum with 140s in terms of speed
3250 with a 26" barrel.
You have to buy another Mag and magnum bolt head at around $400 to use that chambering. 3100fps wont be a push out of that case either with RL-17 or N560 I imagine. Long throat it and with the x55 neck it wont be a bad barrel burner.Quote:

3100 with a 140 with 50 grains of powder is gonna be pushing it hard for sure Dave.
Agreed. He is planning on the 129 Nosler though? I can get 3050 out of my .260 AI with 130's and 47.5 grs powder in the summer. He should achieve it easily with his case capacity and mabye if needed, extending the throat/lead a bit.Quote:

Dont you like them from experience of actually using them in several different cals? Or are you just believing the dribble you read on the internet?
I've used them heaps in lots of different cals Dave. More than you have had hot dinners.... :P
I dunno Daves pretty old that's a lot of hot dinners! :DQuote:

I've had a fuck load of rifles. 2 life times of hot meals worth.
Thats odd, I must have been in a coma for all those dinners considering I have a fair few years on you. Just think, while you could have been literally spat out after a random gobble off, I was just bludging away in the armed forces. Oh and doing everything else that gives me, I dunno, what you like to make out you have................. Experience.:D:P
54200 rifles? And you wore them out!Quote:

I gaurentee that I have had more rifles, calibers and powders than you Dave, while I've been on this forum you have had that godly Blaser of yours and I've had in excess of 20 different rifles. I know you think you are the king pin of experience when it comes to rifles and reloading, but I have experience with alot of different rifles, optics, reloading gear ect so your not the only one.
And guess what there are a shit load of guys out there that know a shit load more than the both of us, and not nessacerly over a long period of time either. Look what KG has played with over the last few years, and Abe as well.
Did they have 6.5's, reloader 17 and n560 in the armed forces did they Dave? Because that's what you are questioning my experience with.Quote:

Holy Shit!!! LMFAO!!! Are you freaking serious? Thats gold! Wow!
Come on Dave you can do better than that mate, with your vast life experience you should have a better come back than that.
Does that count breast feeding? cos breast milk would be hot, wouldnt it? or at least warm.Quote:

Well I know from experience he learnt how to cook under canvas and how to drink scotch and probably how to kill people but I'm just guessing on the last one.Quote:

260 ai pushing out 140 Amax's will do everything you ask in a hunting and tops rifle with a vaulcan barrel on aswell:D
He was always absent when it came to learning how to march or take drill though so maybe someone could teach him drill:thumbsup:........................".gumboot Dave"Quote:

But well done all the same, pointing out, I now can't trust Abe with anything. Legend.
