6.5 velocity pipe dream?

[22BRGUY]

it could worth a look if I don't get the desired results with the n160. being in the uk the viht stuff is fairly easy to get hold of. however h4895 is like rocking horse poo..........its just not there

Thanks for chuckle ;D ;D

Hi guys, just thought I would update this...eventually got the 140 grain SST to group and boy, did they group. At first they wouldn't shoot at all then eventually I stumbled on the right load, it is not capable of a one hole group at 100yards if I do my part from a bipod. 47.3 grains of viht n160 in a lapua case with a cci br primer and the bullet seated out to 3.552(ogive) haven't run them through a chrono yet but with them grouping that well I wont be chasing anything else.

I should say that i meant it is now capable as opposed to not capable lol. stupid fat finger and keyboards don't mix :-D

It will take about 67000 Psi to get 3000 fps. That is about 12000 psi over what the case is rated for. Larry

The Blaser R8 6.5x55M standard bbl has a twist rate of 8.6". Carl L.

I'm running 3000-3050fps out of a 28" barrel and under 60kpsi with RL22 (standard 6.5x55 in norma brass). The case is rated for old mausers, there's no reason not to think that the swede can handle 30-06 60k psi levels. This has been shown many times with modern actions.

What he ask was with (140 gr) sst out of a ( 23 ''barrel). The 5'' extra barrel you have will give over 100' FPS more. I had a 6.5 WSSM with a 34'' that I run over 3200Fps and stayed under the case rating. Larry

I am getting a touch over 2800 fps with Sierra and Hornady 140s with UNDER 46000 CUP loads according to the Accurate powders manual. I am using a model 96 Swede Mauser 6.5X55 with a 29" barrel and a max charge of 45 grs Accurate 4350 in Remington cases with Federal 210M primer, COAL 3.050. With 120s and 46 grs I get 3000 fps. Both loads shoot 1/2 MOA on average also. If you want speed my 27 3/4" barrel 264 Win. mag will do 3350 fps with Retumbo and 130 Nosler Accubonds and is very accurate.

The same load you shoot 3350 FPS will shoot 3080in a 23'' barrel. Larry
