[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 895181, member: 22069"] Lapua brass is the way to go in the 6.5x55. As stated, it is much less expensive than brass in other 6.5 chamberings. I found H4831 to work very well with Berger 140g VLD's in my Swede (commercial Mark X mauser action). Start around 42 grains and work up. My rifle likes 48.2g H4831. I haven't shot it across a chrono, but drops out to 600 yards suggest that I am getting 2750ish. I shot my Swede alongside my 6.5-284 out to 600 yards. There was very little difference, leaving me underwhelmed by my 6.5-284 and that much more enamored with my Swede. [/QUOTE]
