There not. I used then for a wail in my 22/250 for coyotes. They where incredibly accurate but they would not KILL a coyote. Pass right through and the coyote would run for miles. |

That's right IBD. I'm not sure if I can get a deer to stand that close. I did shoot a prairie dog at 450 yards with another load, but I was using a Matchking and don't think that would be the best big game bullet.

Well there Wing we know the load you had at MYGAWDS for the Swede certainly works on certain...er...a... varmints.....altho it was not what we can call a long range test for that cartridge/rifle/scope combo.

I had a pretty accurate load using RL-22 and Nosler Accubond Long range bullets. That's what I had at MYGAWDS and hit CB's 600 yard gong with it when it had a scope that wasn't intended for long range shooting. They were going 2725 FPS.
I should be able to get closer to 2900-3000 FPS using RL-26. If I can get the same accuracy I will be happy. Wing master

Right now it's 1 to 1/2 inch high at 100 yards. I was aiming at the bottom of the red square. If I can get it worked out this weekend, It will be about an inch high at 200 yards.
The problem is that I am using Reloader 26 and their is no published data for it in a 6.5X55. The load I have now has no pressure signs at all now. I plan on loading a couple rounds each adding 1/2 grain each time and looking for signs of pressure and shooting them over a chronograph. If I get somewhere between 2900 and 3000 FPS and have any kind of accuracy I will start trying different seating depths. This is a lot to do between now and October first. (opening day of rifle season) but I am planning on getting it done. Wing master

Sounds close to my 260 Rem load.
What is your intended sight-in range...ranges??

I am hoping to do a little tweaking on it this weekend. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to shoot it over a chronograph. I'd hate to find out after hunting season that it's a 1500 FPS load.

I got out and shot the Sweed with the Gamechangers yesterday. Needless to say I am impressed so far.
I didn't take my chronograph so I have no idea how fast they are going and their is no published data for the powder I am using but they shoot good. I plan on working up to somewhere between 2900 and 3000 FPS. That's pretty fast for a 130 grain bullet but I think it's doable with the powder I am using. This is the first load I tried at 100 yards with a 20 mph quartering wind 5 shots. Unless I have time to get to the range, This will be my antelope load this year. |

I've been using the 123 grainers for antelope, seem to work. I think BC is more important that weight in the 6.5 for 'lope.

The only 6.5 bullets they offer so far is 130 grain.
I usually prefer heavy for caliber bullets, but if these shoot good I'll be ok with them. I have killed many-a-animal with 130 grainers out of a .270. Wing master

Have any of you used the new Sierra Game Changers?
They are supposed to be as accurate as a Matchking and have the penetration of a Pro Hunter. I got a couple boxes of 50 to try in the Swede. I haven't tried them yet. Wing master
