Just for a reference, I shoot the 129 Hornady IL in my .260 and get 3010 fps using Re17 powder. It smucks deer. I shot several last year with the farthest being a 430-yard bang flop. You should be able to get the same speed, or more from the 6.5x55.

A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
