    ADI 2206H is probably the best option it's a bit fast for the 6.5x55 for full power loads 2209 is better, check the ADI web site they have
    a downloadable reloading book,

    Also look up the Hodgdon load data online. ADI make several of their powders like AR2208 is Varget, AR2209 is H4350 and the list goes on. Hodgdon have a more comprehensive load data library.
