dwight Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi guys. Im starting to gear up to to a bit of reloading and am wondering what bullet to use for my 6.5x55..I currently use federal powershock soft point 140gn ammo and have had no hassle with them at all. The rifle is a cz 550.. The question is.what bullet head would you recommend for this cal for medium game such as fallow and sikka and the odd hybred..Shots are usually between 100-250yds.. Thanks Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orka Akinse Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 140g Sierra SPBT works like magic in my rifle and knocks everything down I shoot at from Big reds to Nice Dorset Sika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
british bulldog Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 140g Sierra SPBT works like magic in my rifle and knocks everything down I shoot at from Big reds to Nice Dorset Sika. I use the Sierra 140gr game kings in my Sako 75, I have also used 129sst from Hornady but they cause little bit more carcass damage. regards BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi I use 120gn Sierra Spitzers and they perform magically: little carcass damage, killed everything I shot so far and, the best bit, they are supremely accurate (0.156 inch c/c 3 shot group, out of a factory Sako 75 with no modification) and very very cheap. So far shot 3 fallow yearling bucks, at ranges from 70 to 150 yards. best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wireviz Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ill go with mill pool 129sst,s bungee great knocks even the toughest over with out a fuss near made ma dog redundant . The do leave some meat damage but the trade off of not have to follow up against a pound of mince don't seem to add up to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
