Thread: Powder for 6.5 06 and 140gr projectile

Yes Thanks for that too as I run N560 in the x55 , I wanted to go away from it if possible, not because it doesn't work, it does, but because it's getting hard to get down here and it is a bit more expensive and it seems to burn rather hot.
Trouble is I've never been able to get the same accuracy in my x55 Finn with the 2209, great with the lighter 120gr BT's or 12 Hornadys just doesn't seem to like the heavier bullets in y rifle

I'm loaded for testing today 48-to 49.4 of H4831 in the 06 and 25 -26 with the 69gr Serria TMK's in 2206h and 2208 in the 1-8 tikka

Bit concerned about the length in the tikka, Book says 2.26 Oal but I can easily close the bolt on 2.4" [ have a Waters Rifleman magazine] have split the difference at 2.33 hope it's not jammed in , did the felt pen thing but could only see the one line where I'm guessing it was chambering up the ramp, not really sure what I'm looking for anyway.suppose it will be a series of lines indicating it jammed in the rifling.
