On no account use Accurate 2520 (or other) ball powder - they don't always ignite in this large case with so much air space.

I use vit 160 & 42gr with 120gr hpbt's . Never had a walker yet ! used the same recepie with 139g s/p , same results. All hit the floor like a pupet with the strings cut.

The 6,5x55 has a very good reputation abroad and seems to be the preferred round for the European hunter, the cost of factory ammunition is a real give-away in this respect.

I however have just found a 6,5x284 (many thanks to Lapua338 of this forum) So I need to start a new reloading thread

I'm sure Spud can help you with 6.5x284 loads.

Yup, he has had some rather good results with his

I found an interesting article with some reloading information from Precision Shooting magazine published in 2007 for the 6.5-284 cartridge.

That was a good read,
