No i deer Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I loaded some 120gr amaxs for him maybe 2 years ago and he hasn't gone out with his 6.5x55 since to shoot it. It was a low round count standard varmint.. Not sure if it was 20 or 24 inch.. Got him on the orange disc. Made the adjustments and fired 2 shots. 2 nice shots.. Chronied 3 which have 12fps ES. Only prob was it chronied 2750fps.. it shoots great so I will leave it for now..I've gotta pull one to check the powder weight as I didn't write that down doh 😂 Sorted his bal cal. We moved farms. I dropped him off to shoot from a stack of silage bales and I drove a few fields to my spot. Getting my rifle out and I heard a shot.. He had a Charlie strait away 😁.

No i deer Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 It's a 20 inch barrel. What velocity would you expect with the 120gr amaxs running near max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the cartridge,bullet and barrel length.. After a mate ran a quick load the velocity is on the money aswell as the accuracy... Saved alot on messing getting lucky with the load first time out 😳🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i deer Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I get why it's slow...!! For some reason I expected it about 100fps faster. I pulled a cartridge and weighed the charge which was 46grs of N160 that was producing around 100fps faster than the quickload prediction 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
