6.6x55 and the 125gr Nosler partition

[rembolt]

I asked here before for your advice on the 120gr ttsx . I gained a lot of useful info . I got say thanks . So as the title say what is your experience with the 125 gr partition ? what powders have worked best ? as a reminder this rifle is a tikka t3 . I bought 129 bullets from a great member here . 100 new unopened and 29 pulled . so I have tested 20 of the pull bullets with reloaded 19 . the rifle shoot decent groups but nothing like what 120gr nosler or barnes or the 129gr lrab will do . just like to hear other experience .

I have used the 125s in the 260 but not the 6.5x55. As a general rule, after using partitions in many calibers for close to 60 years the partitions like to be pushed and shoot a lot better a close to max velocities.

Try Winchester 760 or H414. That is what I use behind the 125/130 grain pills in my 6.5x55.
Great accuracy, and good speeds as well. Dave.

I am going to be working with 115 gr 257 bullets this summer.
From everything that you read they are a great bullet, if they weren't, they would have been gone long ago.
I would think that 4350 would also be good in the 6.5.
I am liking the results with IMR4451 in my 270 and 257 as well.
