So I was in search of a 130 grain bullet load for the rams for my Tikka in 6.5x55 Swede. In a previous thread,(https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/i-guess-this-will-do.845923/ ) I reported the 108 gr. Lapua Scenar load that shot a ten round group well under an inch at 100 yards. It had 2 flyers outside a ragged hole that could be covered with a dime.
This 130 grain Berger load doesn't have any of the flyers out side the ragged hole, but the ragged hole is slightly larger. It measured 0.726" center to center.
Recipe: 130 grain Berger, 45.4 grains IMR4955, CCI200, Hornady case, COAL = 3.110".
Looks like I am ready for the Silhouette matches! Now if I could just hold that steady offhand....
This Tikka is definitely a keeper!
