DF,
I DO know that "some" powders in the 6.5x55 when loaded to 64,000 psi will get the 130's to 3000 fps.
What length of barrel? I'm pushing 2920 fps with RL17 in a 22 inch barrel with the 130 accubond. I keep hearing 140s are shining with RL26 but don't know if there is any validity to the claim or not ☺ Trystan
Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I've loaded quite a bit for the Swede, both modern Sako's and a CZ as well as a 38 Mauser. I don't have any problem going to max and a bit beyond in the modern rifles, I do believe that the reloading info in the manuals are aimed at the older 96/38 Mauser's and perhaps even the older Krag's. If one looks at the European manuals they often are quite a bit hotter for a max load than the US manuals. One does have to be reasonable however.. 100fps is not really going to make a difference to me.
