6.5x55 quickload?

[kayaker1]

Hi all,
Can someone who has QL run a quick query for me?

I have 2 loads in a T3 6.5x55 that are stellar for accuracy! Both use:
Lapua brass
Rem 91/2 LR primer
48gr RE22

First load is 130gr Nosler Accubond at 3.070” COL

Second is a 127gr Barnes LRX at 3.15” COL

I chronoed the 130 AB load few years ago and it averaged about bang-on 2800fps, which seemed reasonable.
Today I chronoed the 127gr LRX load and it averaged 2910 fps! I though the chrony was faulty but it seemed to read about where I assumed with a host of other rifle loads today.

I am just curious what QL says about where I should be with velocity and pressure with those 2 loads.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have QL but the pressures you will be getting from those loads, with such light bullets will be well below the thresholds of your component cases and rifle.

I load much hotter than that and the loads are safe in my T3 and the cases seem to go on and on.

Have you tried 'Gordons' Reloading Tool?

Edit.

Ran both loads through GRT here is the data.

127 LRX

130 Accubond

Thanks bdb! I haven’t seen that tool before.

Its Gordons Reloading Tool or GRT. Free and works pretty good tbh.

I get slightly different results for these two loads (48-gr. Re22) with QuickLoad assuming unfired brass and a 22.5" barrel on your T3:

1. Nosler Accubond 6.5mm 130-gr., Bullet length 1.32", COAL 3.07"; 2871 fps, 59,467 psi pressure;

2. Barnes LRX-BT 6.5mm 127-gr., Bullet length 1.34", COAL 3.15"; 2860 fps, 56,736 psi pressure.

Thanks for that South Pender.

The pressure for the 130 AB is higher than I assumed!
