[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1203482, member: 22069"] My 6.5x55 is built on a commercial '98 mauser. The Berger 140 VLD measures 3.140 to the lands. When I first began loading for this rifle, I followed Berger's instructions for testing seating depth. Preferred seating depth came in at .120 off the lands, for an OAL of 3.020. The only way to know is to test seating depth. Do that with a starting load, then work up your powder charges. H4831 or RL-22 are ideal powders for the Swede and 140's. [/QUOTE]
