Accuracy is nothing to get excited about at around 0.8moa for the hotter loads. All the brass has been brand new so far, I need to see if I can fit any more powder in the fired cases, otherwise I will be giving 2209 a try.
That is impressive. I'm over adi Max with my 6.5x55 with lapua brass, cci primer, 123gr a-max and 2209 and only get 2860fps out of my tikka. Having said that it works and I've never chased velocity, only accuracy.

If you were to use that load with some other brass of lesser quality or unknown provenance, I would back it all off by at least 10%
That six and a half has been known to start grass fires!

hope this helps
