Swede will fit in a short action especially shooting 100s and 120s. And if songle shot okay too. I use a savage lrpv action 140 jlk just fits

Hi Stickemup,
Where do you get your J.L.K's from? Been trying to find some for awhile as they perform very well in my 6.5 x 55 Rogue.
Cheers.
Trevor.

Sorry was racing the airline staff but guys in USA have got 140s over 3200 using reloader 26 i think it is. Accuracy wise was better around 3150. Its funny though seems almost all calibres ahoot well around that 2900 -3000 range.

My version of Quickload doesnt have a 20 dasher, it does have a 20BR so if you have the h2o weight you can play with the numbers.

Missed I ran a 260AI using 123 Lapuas and was able to set records in LRBR at 3150fps super accurate load at that speed. Regularly put 5 shots under 2 inchs at 500m and 5 shots at 4 - 5 inchs at 1k.
I was able to push them faster but found that speed was best.
I would expect better than advertised velocity with handloads.
I found Norma and Lapua 243 brass worked well. Lapua 260 was not available then.

I remember that morning in Canberra. You shot red hot that day. Nice rifle and great shooting.
