Smarquez-
As far as I'm concerned too -- HI vel is useless w/o accuracy. IF you get 3500 fps and can't hit a 'wash tub' you don't have anything.
From Denton's post in Reloading Forum
---------------------------------
Campfire Pet Loads -- 6.5X55
49.5 grains H4350 with a 120 grain Sierra bullet and 3.000" COL gives me a measured 59.4 KPSI and 3075 FPS out of a 24" barrel. I back that one down a grain just for luck. Should give you about 3025 and around 57 KPSI,
****which is a conservative load for a modern rifle.****
--------------------------------
49.5 ** H 4350 ** = @ 3075
SO 43.5 IMR 4350 gives you an idea of speed. I KNOW H and IMR 4350 aren't ===.. Sometimes H is faster burning, sometimes it's slower burning.
I am shooting for 2900-3000 w/120s. Pun intended.
It MUST be accurate. I'm not wasting my time and components in group shooting loads that are dragging their butts.
I'm going to find the vel. bracket>>>THEN work on accuracy.
Thanks
