Hi, I just purchased a Sako 6.5x55 with a 1 and 8 twist I have Lapua 155 gr meg round nose going with winchester powder 760 can anyone give me some load data on this ? thank you Daniel

Near as I can figure you're looking at something between 38.5 and 41 gr but if you don't have load data with the rifle be sure to do a lot of research and start LOW. Someone elses 6.5x55 may work well with a given load but their rifle is different, sometimes dramatically different, from yours. Relying on load data furnished by others can be very dangerous.

Yes ,My bad it was VV's powder manual on the bulletin,( I need too read a little better) I see you wanted W 760 load data for the 155 Mega. Lapua doesn't list W760 in their manual but it does list (N-160 St. 38.9- Max 43.2) (N 560 St. 37.7- Max 47.6) (H 4895 St. 34.1- Max 35.8), (H 870 St. 47.6- Max 52.6)
