6.5x55 Hunting Bullets

Maybe I missed something, but what exactly is your rifle? I have a Carl Gustav & a Zastava 6.5x55. Different twists, different throats, different barrel lengths make all the difference.

I have a 6.5x55 that has been a bit of a struggle to develop a load for. I’m getting excellent accuracy with 139 gr Lapua Scenars, but haven’t been able to get a hunting bullet to shoot well in it. The other bullets I’ve been thinking about trying are 156 gr Berger EOLs and 155 gr Lapua Megas. I’m normally no a fan of using match bullets for hunting so I’m a little concerned about the Scenars and EOLs. Any of you guys have experience with these bullets on deer?

If your rifle shoots it well, I’d just use the 139 Scenar. It’s a well documented killer.

If you’re not comfortable with that idea and you can find it, the Barnes 127LRX has been excellent for us too.

I’d love to try them, but availability is an issue now that trade ex has stopped carrying them. Have you ever used Larch Valley Enterprises? I’ve heard that he is importing them.

hey Erik,
Im an Aussie so its a bit different, No i have not used this Guy but ive seen him mentioned several times now in regards to shipments of Woodleighs!
i can be a last resort i believe , but i know some CGNers here, know a thing or two about where the Woodleighs like to hide in Canada!
cheers!
 
I have met with Rick from Larch several times and bought many boxes of Woodleighs from him. Nice guy, helpful, never any issues.
