Thread: Powder of choice for 140gr in 6.5x55??

Don't get caught up chasing speed in your R93. Accuracy is what matters and should be there at 25-50fps less than turn bolts. Keep it around there and you will have no dramas. The projectiles can like a lot of jump if it is a factory barrel, so be aware of that. N560 or 2217 or 2209 will suit. 130gr scirrocos will do everything you want, up close and at distance.

I used the 129gr Hornady interlock out to 600 with (surprisingly) awesome accuracy. Another cheap projectile that kills well.
