Thread: The Six and a half Swede.

Question,
Would I be pushing my luck to get a 140gr going at 2700 fps? The rifle is a Ruger M77 Mk2, it was a closet rifle before I got hold of it. The 6.5x55 cartridge has always intrigued me, and when I got the chanced to grab a modern rifle in that caliper, I did. So now it's load development time, and with the help of the graph tip that Granpamac gave the other day, I'll be heading for, about 48gr of 2213 to achieve this, is this out of the question? So far there is no signs of pressure but I'm only approaching 2600 fps at the moment. Some may ask why am I using 2213, simply, I have a kilo of it, and this we properly be the only rifle I'll use it in.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
