I have been handloading for a year and a half and have a question. I got in to it b/c I have a 6.5x55. A 30-06 will push a 150 grain bullet over 3,000 fps. My reloading manuals don't show 6.5-06 velocities with a 140 grain bullet moving as fast as a 150 grain 30-06 bullet. Why is that?


Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
