[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1513335, member: 87243"] This may not apply, and is the "I know a guy" thing, but there is a guy I know shooting 140 Hybrid's in a 6.5x55 using H1000 at 3155 fps....however, he has a 32" barrel, so..... My father has a 24" 6.5x55, and using imr7828, he is getting 2855 with a 24" barrel. He would certainly get more velocity with something like Reloder 26 or some other powder, I would estimate 2950 fps or better guessing from my experiences, but it is stupid accurate. The two will be close, I know the 6.5x55 brass from Lapua is pretty stinkin cheap....and it's a classic. Between the two, 6.5x55 would be my choice, has more powder capacity and it's just a cooler cartridge imho. As long as the tikka 6.5x55 is on the long action. If they are trying to stuff the 6.5x55 in a short action, forget it, and go with the creed. [/QUOTE]
