[QUOTE="wbm, post: 1133577, member: 14158"] Great shooting FEENIX! 6.5x55 SE is a great choice. I currently shoot an M96 made in 1910 and a modern chamber rifle built on a Savage 110 action. For Varmints and stuff. 107gr Sierra Match King 40.5gr IMR 3031 Fast, flat, accurate and deadly on varmints. IMR 3031: Other than with Vintage Military shooters that shoot the M96, this powder is not listed much for the Swede.The Sierra V Manual is the only reloading book I have that has a listing for it with light bullets. Since you have a short barrel, I would also consider you try Varget with bullets up to 140gr. H380 is another powder I have had good results with in bullets up to 123gr. For deer size game. 123gr Hornady Amax 44.9gr V-160 Have had some "screamer groups" with this load. [/QUOTE]
