With my wife's Tikka 6.5x55 we found some good loads in the last few months.
38 gr of H 4895 with the 120 gr Ballistic Tip was quite accurate and had mild recoil, she really liked shooting that load for practice. Speed was around 2700 fps, would make a good deer load too.
Same charge of H 4350 (43 gr I think) with both the 140 gr Hornady SST and Nosler Partition. They both hit in the same place, she noticed a bit more recoil but said it was still good. Speed should be around 2600 fps, I may do a bit more work but might not since they are both accurate and the two bullets compliment each other nicely.
H 4831 sc was a bit slow in this gun but it has worked well in previous 6.5x55's, Need to try IMR 7828 SSC in this gun still it was a stand out in my old gun with various 140's.
