Thread: 6.5 06

Nosler published data for the 6.5 / 06 in at least two of their manuals that are on my shelf. Data for the 140 gn projectiles in a 24" tube:
In the earlier manual (third ed.) H4350 (2209) - 44.5 - 48.5 gns 2640 - 2810 fps, H4831 (2213SC) 45.5 - 49.5 gns 2620 - 2800 fps, RL 22 46.5 - 50.5 gns 2660 - 2860 fps.
In the later manual (sixth ed.) the loads for the above powders remain the same. RL 19 and Vit 165 added as slower powders with slightly higher velocities - 2900 fps.
