Film 11: Midrange 6.5

A bit of shooting at moderate ranges the other day with myself and forum member Jakewire

Dog seems to be enjoying himself too

Every time I see you I think jono from jono and Ben.... Must the bald head.

Good shooting

Good to see shooters in t-shirts! Myself, almost had a frostbite the other day.

Good shooting boys :thumbsup:

Gotta love the 6.5x55

Cheers
Pete

Pretty sheltered where we were shooting, figured it as about 1m/s effective

What speeds do you get from that? That's a big step up from the 37gr or so I use though I used win760

Yeah I realize that

Was dialing in nicely to the 740m mark using 2720 as my speed Toby.

I bet that smashes the deersies over

I have no idea what to load for the 6.5x55AI but am hoping to get at least 2800 with 140s

I am curious as well as I only get 46-47 grains of N560 in my .260 improved case before pressure is showing, giving around 2900ish. Goes to show the slight differences between case dimentions and pressure.

The 55AI goes slightly better than the .260AI by all accounts depending on barrel length Toby. You should get 2950ish with a 22-24" Barrel

I'll let you know Toby, Abe made me a 24" version. Might be a while before I get around to shooting it though....way too many projects on the go at the moment.

Sweet. I'll be asking for loads though it'll be a while. Still with scott atm then I have sort a stock with stug.
