Sako 85 6.5x55 load recommendations

[Whatmuff]

Hi All

I've read through a few threads and been through my manuals but just putting the feelers out to the guys on here to see if there are any top loads to save me starting from scratch. I have a Sako 85m 6.5x55 and looking for a load. I have the following powders R22, IMR4895 and Viht N150 and the following heads, 129grn Hornady SST, 120 grn Sierra Pro Hunter Spitzer, and 140gr Sierra Game King. I'm using CCI primers. I have the Hornady reloading manual and the Lee modern one. If there's any recommendations it would be great, as the last loads I worked up were all over the shop and figured out it was a loose mount bugger.... Thanks for the help.

i can help you out with the 140 gr Sierra Game king 1730#

42gr of VIHT N150, which gives me 2750fps approx

you will obviously have to build up to it

but i seat mine at 2,530'' Ive got a Tikka T3 in 6.5x55

case trim to standard spec

i don't crimp

Many thanks Richie, N150 is my powder for my other rifle so that makes things much easier.... I'll give it a bash and work up some loads. Thanks dude
