Loaded 160gr Hornady RN today

[jmkhenka]

I have been tempted to try these in my Howa. From what I recall when I ran it through QL I should be able to comfortably get into the 2200 FPS range. If my memory is correct that is 100 FPS below what the Hornady book calls for a max velocity in the M96 6.5x55.

atleast in my howa mini, the COAL would be so short as to make loads like this impossible, i estimate 2.086 inches total COAL - 53mm or even shorter. Thats 5 mm shorter then OP.
