[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1161439, member: 10178"] I also have found that primers DO make a BIG difference in loads. You do have a problem if you can't get better than 1.5" groups out of a 6.5x55 Swede. I have some stock military 6.5x55 Swedes that shoot better than that with the open sights. 140 Sierra Match Kings with 37.8 grs IMR4895 Fed 210M primer in a Remington case only does 2400 fps but is awesomely accurate in all my Mauser Swedes. Well under 1" at 100 yards. I have one rifle that likes Varget better. I get top speed and under 1" accuracy out of a Sported Mauser 96 with AA 4350 46 grs. Fed 210M with 120 gr Sierra SP and Nosler BT 3000 fps out of the 29" barrel and this is listed in the Accurate manual as under 46000 CUP. 45 Grs AA 4350 with 140 Sierra SP or Hornady interlock SP does 2800 fps and is just as accurate. Both loads hammer deer. [/QUOTE]
