No Mfr Makes a 6.5x55 "Long" Bullet Anymore & Surp 6.5x55 Is About Dried Up....

[2506]

37.8 grs IMR 4895, Rem case, CCI BR2 primer, 140 Sierra MK, OAL 3.050 shoot lights out in all 5 of my M-96 Swedes. As far as the powder load it came from the 50th anniversary edition Sierra manual as the accuracy load.

an aside,for what it is worth. i have a tikka t3 hunter in 6.5,nikon 2.5-10 plex. it always shoots< moa with fiocchi 140gr sst and 1-2 moa with privi 139gr fmj. i can't speak to privi sp or foicchi 142gr match. i suspect that they would be acceptable alternates,depending on need. t3 is my primary hunting gun,not a match gun.

Hey 2506 thats my all around rifle for everything in the East inclunding 1000yd VBR. But I love my 5 Swedes too and I have found they like 41gr RL17 with 139grPRVI SPBT CCIBR2 Norma brass. The bullets were not my first choice but they were real cheap at Grafs when the match bullets dried up so use them up!

This is what I shoot in my Ljungman (AG-42B). They feed and cycle fine and group as well as any bullet has in this rifle. I claim no great ability with the military sights but can regularly hit the 300 yard black. [br]
