Default 6.5x55 SE - RKS gain twist

I lucked out on a new load on the first go-round with my new Sweedey HVA today.

A Ron Smith 15-8 gain twist and some Hodgdon Hybrid 100V
and 140 SST 's at 2730 seem to work well together.

This is the second Gain Twist barrel from Ron that shoots sub 1/2 MOA.
RKS barrels and chambers Rock ! Thanks Ron!

Default Congrats

My RKS 6.5x55 shoots great also

4831sc at around 2740 with the 140 partitions and 2840 with the 142 matchkings. My target looks the same over and over again



You are going to enjoy the 6.5x55

Default choices

Maybe try some Reloder 22 and put them all in the same hole

I can't seem to get those velocities, mine are hanging around 2600 with 48 gr h4831. Very accurately I might add but lagging a bit on speed
