I will repeat I would NOT expect those velocities. If you got it great. I would say your brass was most likely very short lived. In my experience the Creedmoor is more efficient in shorter barrels than the Swede so I have seen the same velocities with less powder. I played with H4350, H4831, and RL26. I would definitely recommend RL26. My 24"Creedmoor was around 25-50 fps faster than the 22" Then you have the completely different topic of just because the case with push the bullet to "X" velocity does not mean there will be an accuracy node there. If the Tikka had a longer barrel for the 6.5x55 this discussion may be completely different but comparing the Tikka CM to the Swede my CM outperformed the Swede and was much easier to tune. If you want to talk about expectations with the 22" barreled Swede and a 24" barreled CM I would say 2700-2800 with the Swede(I could not get to 2800) and 2750-2850 with the CM all with 140s. I would also suggest looking at the 147. It hammers game,is super easy to tune ,and extremely accurate. Good luck either way you will have a fine rifle.
