Bump

It is possible the magnetospeed is acting up. Waiting gor a new unit for it.

Just a bit confused as to why the soot starts as the powder weight increases.

Thanks for running that though quick load. It's more the velocity I was expecting to be honest.

I know this has been beaten to death all over the web, but I'm having an odd problem with my 6.5x55.

Rifle is a Tikka M695 varmint, 24 inch barrel. 

My loads started with new Lapua brass, 139gr Scenars and Vhit N160, Fed 210 primers.

Started around 39gr and worked up to seemed like maximum for this gun - 44.5gr, started to get stiff bolt lift and flat primers. This is around the max in the vhit Skan load data also.

Thing is after 42gr the cases started sooting along their length right up to the max I tried.

41.5gr hit an accuracy node, less than 1 moa, which I'm ok with, but only chrono'd at around 2300fps which seemed slow.

Didn't chrono the max load so don't know what it went to (Doh!)

I found it odd for the cases to soot as the load increased.

I need more velocity than this for 1000 yards at bisley and wondered how to cure the sooting or if I should even be worrying about it?

Want to stick with N160 if I can as I have a fair bit of it.

Open to suggestions.

Hi guys,

Where could I get an extractor from for a Remington 700, .223.

Thanks for any info / advice.

Not in the pavillion sadly. 

Fultons were great to be honest, all very quick and easy.

Back home now, couldn't have asked for better weather for a first time visit. 

Thanks for the advice, all very useful and appreciated. Will definitely be going back.
