[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 564965, member: 8510"] I see loads for 6.5x55 using N165 50.2 gr with a 139 secnar getting 2800 plus. I run 52 grs of N165 in my 6.5x55 improved and get just over 3000 fps with 140 vld. I am built on a 700 long action and really don't see any sign of pressure until I push past 3150 fps. I use Lapua brass and am now past 12 loadings on most of them and they are still good. I think a stock 6.5x55 could get close to 2900 with the right powder behind a 140 gr bullet. N560 has loads listed at just under 2900 but I have not been able to get my hands on any yet to give it a try. I didn't see much point as my gun as shown a preference for velocities at or close to 3000 fps and I am getting that with the powder I am using now. [/QUOTE]
