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.
