My 6.5x55mm (stock Howa 1500) gets below average results with 140gr SST bullets, about 3 moa with two powder and primer combinations. Just for comparisons sake I shoot 1 moa with 140gr Interlocks with both powders. That's probably my accuracy ceiling as a shooter right now anyway.

Has anyone tried both SSTs and A-max bullets in the same caliber and weight and gotten significantly different results? I know my rifle is a 6.5mm but that is pretty limiting so if you have actual experience with both bullets but in a different caliber I'd like to hear it too.

Thanks
