[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1557924, member: 38494"] Currently I am loading for a 6.5 x 55 SE using Lapua brass, an RCBS FL X die and Forster competition seating die. After firing, the resizing die is set to bump the shoulder back 0.0015 inches. The load consists of 46.5 grains of RL 22 using Lapua Scenar 136 grain bullet seated off the lands by 0.002, and CCI BR2 primers. This load is shot from a custom rifle set up for long range shooting and produces groups of 0.4 inches center to center at 100 yards and will hold less than 1 inch at 300 yards. The velocity is 2850 fps with an ES of 18 which may be ok for the ranges shot to date but may not be suitable for long ranges, say from 600 to 1000 yards. I want to try to see if I can get the ES lower. Would going to a S type neck type bushing die help in that regard? I have read that there is no need if using Lapua brass. Thanks Robert [/QUOTE]
