[QUOTE="Rick W, post: 2330846, member: 13775"] The last time I hand loaded for my 6.5 X 55, I used 42 gr of IMR 4895, and a Hornady 140 gr sp bullet. That shot to the same point of impact as the Federal factory ammo I had been using. I also shot a deer at about 100 yds with the handloaded ammo. I hit it high in the chest on the side, and the bullet went completely through without expanding. My brother-in-law had previously hit it low in the chest with his .30-30. After I shot it too,it ran quite a ways before he found it. Rick W [/QUOTE]
