Dang I read it twice and some how misses it:rolleyes:

What is the twist 1:12?

What trigger does it have, what is the twist and shots through the barrel. Thanks.

I am using the 143 ELDX in a tikka 6.5X55 swede. Half minute load all day as long as i do my part. have taken them to 1046 meters with good results. Yesterday I hammered 3 hogs with them. One at 200 meters or so and two under 50. Nothing long range but the terminal performance was on par or...

I have a tikka 6.5x55 and am loading the 143 eldx. Right now I am getting great groups with 44 gn of 4350. However my velocity out of the 23 inch barrel is only 2600 fps. What is the real upper limit of my loading and velocity? All info I can find seems to be the don't sue me data from the...

I have a tikka t3 in 6.5x55 coming this week and will be reloading. I am trying the 143gn eldx bullets and most likely some imr4350. Rl22 is not available in my area. Are there any members here that have made a recipe for this bullet or know of a good range to start? Thanks.

I am getting a 6.5x55 and plan on using the hornady eldx bullet. What die would seat this bullet consistently. Thanks.

Working on a hunting rifle. I have decided on 6.5x55 swede and want to get a tikka. The only ones I can find are wooded stocks. Would I need to replace the stock or would there free floated design still work well?

So I have been asking stupid questions to decide on a dedicated hunting rifle. I was wondering if a heavy barrel was needed to accurately shoot long distance. Basically could I get say a tika something or another caliber and be able to make a shot at 600 meters reliably as far as the rifle...

I am on a quest to get a do all long range hunting rifle. I have tons of experience with a 308 but want a better cartridge. On a previous question I was asking about caliber selection and I think I have decided on the 7mm mag. Now for the rifle. A custom gun is out of budget so I was...

Never heard of the 6.5x55 but a little research shows it may fit the bill. Thanks I will have to look real hard at that one.

Toddc my gun is about 13 lbs so I was wanting to get a rifle in the 8 lbs fully loaded or less range. Not sure on that. I know the 308 lacks alot in longrange but it's cheap to bang steel with. That's why I want a round that will do the job at a distance that will not need a rebarrel every...

I have a 308 for longrange shooting and like it alot but it's too dang heavy for hunting so I am going to get a gun just for hunting. I will be hunting deer and hog and 500 and under should be most shots. I don't want a magnum due to the barrel life issue. So what would be a suggestion for a...
