Hello...I have scoured the net till my eyes hurt looking for some load data for my new Savage 11 lightweight hunter. I would like to work up some loads using some of the old 160gr RN bullets. I have several 6.5 swedes, and know tht load data is very similar (since my guns are built with good 98 actions). Does anyone have any pet loads for the 260 using the 160 RN? Would like to use RL19 or RL22 as i have great results in my other 6.5's.Thank you.

I used to have a 6.5X55 with those bullets, too. I think they look cool. Sorry I don't have load info, though.

Not for Reloader powders but it's a place to start:

They may eat up alot of case capacity in the short action, 308 based 2.8" or so max OAL
