[QUOTE="maxxlogan, post: 403992, member: 15588"] my bad......looked up my 6.5x55 range data book..... 123gr scenar moly coated..........3195ps out of a 28" barrel....the cases do get molested, i only get two to three reloads if I'm lucky.....139gr scenar moly coated 2950fps but does not hold the grouping in my set up..... sorry...my bad...it is 123gr and 8 MOA @ 1000 yard wind drift....all drift measurements in MOA not inches.....sorry I know the 139gr should do all things better then the 123gr on paper.....but my setup for whatever reason seems to be a tack driver at all ranges I tested... Have a .308 setup for long range previous to this one.....to this day cant get a decent shooting load out of it....I have something like 1000 spare projectiles left over from load development.... In my case the 6.5x55 will do just about anything a 6.5-284 or a 6.5-06 will do.....most important is repeatability....and enough scope adjustment.....then comes practice, practice, practice..... I guess I belong to the 25% of the shooters out there, I'm a big advocate of KISS, and my belief is the 223, 243, 6.5x55, 270, 308, 30-06, 300Win Mag and the 338 win Mag will do anything u ask of them...providing you do your homework.....going to all these willdcats...and new cartridges seems a waste of resources and time...could spend more time developing shooting skills and dropping animals...
