Was a post in Hunting and sporting rifles about an 8.5x55 Blaser, tweaked the interest to see what info there was on that around the net. Came across XXL reloading, sort of a Load Data type site, some free info, some protected, that you pay for, but, has some stuff you don't see every day, and may have stuff you could use in using European powders, plus a newer powder chart that may help out, and links to some recent and maybe not so recent powder mfgrs data.
If nothing else, a fun read to explore. https://www.xxl-reloading.com/
 
An excellent resource - thanks for sharing!

They list a good range of powders and bullets (but no PRVI). Moreover they list many loads for each powder/bullet combination.

I had a quick look at the 9.3X62 with 286 gr bullet and saw that they listed Reloder 17 as achieving the highest MV - something that's not commonly suggsted in North American circles, but what I found out myself through testing.
 
I broke down and got the info for my 30R Blaser, was worth it. By the way, I had to get to it by selecting a 308 bullet, then 185gr weight ( even though it is 184) and then it showed me a bunch of stuff with different bullets for the 30R, I wanted the 184 RWS Evo. Searching the 30R Blaser by itself, got one load on a 123gr bullet. So, there are apparently some tricks to it.

Surprised to see that the 6.5X55 is not listed - at least not yet.

Then I realized that I was using my North American-centric eye, and the site is German. While the 6.5X55 is popular in Scandinavia and North America, it's not nearly as popular elsewhere and Germany has the 6.5X57 and 6.5X64 which cover the 6.5 mm caliber well.

I was surprised about not seeing the 6.5x55 as well. Germany was also the source of the 6.5x65 RWS and the 6.5x68S, so they have the 6.5's well covered. I reload for the 65x65 and the loads listed are faster (hotter?) than what I have been loading. XXL is the first published load data I have been able to find, so I'm looking forward to trying some of them out.
