[QUOTE="6.5user, post: 206040, member: 11637"] I currently shoot a 6.5x55 Swede, and yes I handload it. With 100gr Sierra varmint bullets I get over 3000fps and groups under .2" at 100 yds, 140gr Sierra soft points give me consistent 1.25" at 200 yds. I haven't confirmed the velocity on the 140's yet. My point of this thread is twofold, 1) how much performance increase could I expect by rechambering for the AI version and 2)any ballistics program I have run puts my energy below 1000 ft/lb around the 6-700 yd mark, so what would you consider to be max for this cartridge in either standard or improved?
