RL22 was the best by a little bit. 1.238”. Going to try playing with the powder charge to try and tighten the group. When I find the powder charge I’m going to play with the seating depth.

I have a CZ550 6.5x55. I shoot 140gr AMAX. My most accurate powder was IMR 4064. PPU brass, CCI LR primers, and bullet seated to Hornady loading specs.

Now I have went to 155gr Lapua Mega bullet, Lapua brass, Norma MRP powder, CCI primers. Very accurate

My go to powder in 6.5x55 with 140 grain bullets is IMR 4831.

I went back to the range today with the same 140gr Sierra SBT. I tried IMR4064 (38.0gr), that muforester recommended, and IMR4895 (38.0gr). Seating depth was kept the same.

The high shot was out of a cold clean barrel, the other 4 were sub MOA.
