6.5x55 Swede - Howa - Load help with Hornady 143gr ELD-X

Post by Yousuf »

Hi Guys

I have received my new Howa 6.5x55 Swede in September last year and want to develop a hunting load using Hornady 143gr ELD-X bullets.

Any tips for a great starter load (i.e. minimum start load, COAL etc)?
What brass to use?
What propellant?
What primer?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

PS. I have S&B brass from factory ammo which I used for barrel shoot in and scope adjustments.

Tripodmvr - Thanks. I had initially planned to do just as you have advised. You have just confirmed an approval. Thank you once again.
