The rifle is a 6.5x55 swede bolt action Ruger. I will be handloading, but not looking to upload it to 3000fps.
Basically, I used Hornady 140 SST’s this year. They hit bone and blew up. It was possibly the shot placement, but I need something that can pass through a double shoulder shot.
I’m thinking 129gr through 145gr bullet. I need performance down to 1850fps for longer shots although I expect them to be rare.
Right now, I’m guessing either the Hornady 143gr ELD-X or the 130gr/140gr Accubond would be a nice fit..
