6.5x55 Swede with 143 ELD-X or 156 Berger - 10/24/19
MD and others,
Had anyone tried some of the newer bullets like the 143 ELD-X or the newest 156g bullet in the Swede? I'm most interested in your experiences with some of the newer powders like IMR 4955, 7977, RL 26 - in addition to some of the older (but goodies) like RL 22, H1000, IMR 7828.
I have a Ruger M77 with a 22" Krieger tube in the swede and I'm not necessarily looking to push the envelope but looking to get into the range of pressures the Swede can operate in a modern action instead of being limited to some of the rather conservative loading data out there today.
What's been your experiences with these bullets in the Swede - velocity and accuracy wise?
