Powder question 6.5x55

[Rusty Gate]

What's your best powder/load for accuracy?

Which powders would you avoid and why?

Grateful for any info guys

I shot some very good groups using 90g Nosler Ballistic Tips and H4350 in my Sauer.

Reloader 19 with 129 sst works well in the R8 ATB Steve

 

[flipflop]

Vit N160, 140gn SPs out of a Sauer 202 does the job for me.

Varget powder 129 grain sst for me in a tikka t3

 

[hunta]

H4350 and N160 excellent accuracy and velocity in Sako 75 using 100g - 140g bullets.

 

[I. Farticus]

46.7 grains of N160 pushes 140gr SSTs @ 2,660fps out of my Sako 75. Will group 5 rounds sub 1/2" at 100yds if I'm not being a numpty

Cheers

+ 1 nviht 160 for the 6.5 I use 120 grn BT superbly accurate in once fired norma cases

I used to shoot 4350 but now shoot IMR 7828 exclusively. In three different 6.5x55's it has proven itself to be the best powder for accuracy.~Muur

 

[sikadog]

Any slow burning powder.

 

[Wrens Mews]

IMR4831 closely followed by H4831 and then varget.

IMR4831 good to over 1000yds.

[dave 67]

H4350 for 129SST, Reloader 22 for 155 grain Lapua mega.
Works well enough accuracy wise for any ethical stalking range.

Im using Varget and its been great with every load I've tried

 

[Paul M]

44 grains of A3100 under a 120 grain Spitzer gives a touching group at 100m out of my Steve Bowers Sako 75!

 

[Paul M]

46 grains H4350 under a 95 grain Hornady V Max does the business too!
