Help with load for 107 gr for 6.5x55 Swede

mpstan · January 31, 2009, 01:48 AM

Hi everyone,

Just got my Rockchucker Supreme kit and am getting ready to load some 140gr Sierra MatchKings for my son's 6.5x55 Tikka. Back when I started accumulating things i picked up some 107gr Sierras..... and I don't see any data for the powders I've picked up......

I know these powders, for 140gr rounds, are a bit slow but has anyone worked up a load for this round with any of these?

RL-22
N-160
Alliant 4350 (short supply)
H-4831

Could have sworn I saw a load using one of these earlier but do you think I can find it now that I'm ready to load?

Thanks
