Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Will a 1:9 twist barrel in 6.5x55 stabilize 140 grain bullets?

cdb,

I've had best luck overall in the 6.5x55 with Reloder 22, if you can find some. Although I never tried it with the 140g GameKing. I used Ramshot Magnum with that one. Another good powder to try with the 140's.

'223,

I'm surprised with the recent local stock of primers lately. I just stopped by SW again today and they had nearly a full stock, including the Federal Gold Medal Match line (which I haven't seen more than a glimpse of on their shelves since 2008). But powder? Still the same 1-lb cans of H50BMG and nothing else.

Look at bergers sight for twist stability that will give you more insight than if RL 15 will work
