Bullets for the 6.5 CM

[WildRose]

My Ruger Hawkeye Predator does best with 140 grain Sierra Gamekings over 42.0 grains of H4350. But it also does very well with Hornady Factory 129 grain SST Ammo, Nosler 130 grain Accubonds over 43.5 grains of W760, and Nosler 140 grain Ballist Tips over 41.0 grains of H4350.

Strangely, with my Ruger African in 6.5x55 Swedish it does better with lighter weights, best groups coming from the Nosler 120 grain ballistic Tip over 47.0 grains of H4350. Although it does like RL22 for the powder.

Most likely your swede has a slower twist rate and will never shoot anything over 130 in a spire point type bullet well although it might handle the 160gr RN Hornady makes for deep penetration. Very low BC on that bullet though so best used at or under 100yds.
