[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1198574, member: 87243"] Good choice. I run a .260 AI with a 30" barrel and shoot the 140's from 2960-3000 fps. very pleasant to shoot. My father has a 6.5x55 built on a mauser 98 action, with a 24" barrel, and he is getting about 2875 with his 140 loads. I would recommend nosler or lapua brass, some of the other stuff, I think it was remington possibly...doesn't have the proper sized case head, because the swed has a slightly larger case head than the standard .308, and some of the manufacturers use the standard .308 case head, and you end up with a bulge down at the base of the case. It's still usable brass, just probably not the best option. [/QUOTE]
