6.5x55 at modern pressure levels - 09/24/10
I am going to start playing around with the Swede in a Tikka T3 or a Sako Finnlight. I wish the powder people had real data at reasonable (higher, modern) operating pressures for these rifles.
I am assuming there is no issues with running normal pressure in new 6.5x55 cases. Has anyone seen otherwise? I will be using Norma cases. I could section one to see if it has a web thickness consistent with other cases that operate at normal pressures.
I am not trying to go crazy with the velocity but would like to hit 2950 with a 120 NBT.
I you have any loads for modern Swedes (Sakos, Rugers, CZs), throw them out here.
