Dac9976 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hi all Any chance some one can help me out with Quickload? I've got 140gr Amax and 140gr Berger hunting VLDs, with vit N165 in a 24" barrel. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 What are you trying to find out? A load, or the Min - Max range of loads? ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 From Hornady: 37.5 min, 45 Max for 2500 fps. Frankly, I would use Vhit's data for the 139, startin loads, and work up from there. Hornady is very conservative these days.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornady is very conservative these days.~Andrew Hi Andrew. I have several loading manuals that I always check before loading. I do think they are all conservative in the data given. Quickload always seems to give realistic information, hence the request . I would buy Quickload myself but I am totally computer illiterate.....iPad is as good as it gets lol. Cheers Danny.

gbal Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Danny, 'conservative' usually means 'does not exceed' max SAAMI pressures.... Remember there is often deference to early (military) 6.5x55 Swedes,still in use,which are not up to current "Skan" strengths. "realistic" is a more weasel word-often closer to 'maybe achievable with increased pressures'... ie some have done it,but...... You do seem tobe are following QuickLOAD's own advice i.e. to be mainly guided by powder manufacturers tables rather than QL unchecked (see the QL statement in post 6 by HTLEADFARMER on the "Cheeky QL question ' thread ,currently running here. In a nutshell,there are many parameters and assumptions in QL that are often not met by 'real' shooters,who do not/cannot input exactly matching data-at best,QL is a guide-best defer to powder charts,as QL recommends. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I hear what your saying gbal.....just trying to gain as much information as possible before I start loading for a new barrel. I consider myself a safe home loader mate, I don't take risks. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 That's as it should be ,Danny- I find V165 pretty good in an Fclass style 6.5X55 Ackley Improved,with 140g bullets (Berger Hybrids probably best,but Hornady/Sierra are fine too). g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would use Amax but not sure how much longer they will be available for as I was told they have been discontinued. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Been doing a fair bit of load development with the VLDs and Amax. Amax was producing some nice groups with 45.5gr of vit n165 with a MV of 2469 fps. Got some ELDs this week as Amax 140s are now discontinued. Did a few tester rounds to see what they are like. Seated them 20 thou back, the same as the Amax.......wow they produce some great groups the best with 45.8 gr of vit n165. Would post pics but I'm useless lol. Cheers Danny.
