No trouble at all. Vihtavuori has loads for 3150fps with 130gr bullets in their 2008 manual.


Hey John, not trying to be a trouble maker but I don't see any velocities like that till you drop down to 100 gr bullets. Am I looking in the wrong place??

Perhaps I looked in the wrong column or something! (one reason why I do not post loads on the internet -- too easy to make a typo!

It is also possible that they have backed off on some their loads (this was the 2008 manual, also I think I recall that this was in a long barrel). Certainly many of the loads from that manual were too hot for the rifles I have in other calibres.

I will email the Vihtavuori 2008 manual to the address in your profile.

Have a look and please correct my (hurried) initial post if needed!

John

Did you see this thread:

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/4084914/JB_6_5x55_Which_140gr

?

It might help you...

I've got a commercial Mauser action I'm having barreled with a 29" SS Krieger Light Varmint Contour 1-in-8" twist barrel chambered to this old standby. Can't wait to stretch her legs at 600+ yards!

These two threads are definately going to come in handy...
