I ran 129gr. Hornady SP's at 2,960fps and

140gr. Hornady Corelockt at 2,840fps in my 22", 6.5x55 Model

96 - which appeared to have been unfired when I bought it.

Don't know what the pressures were, but did not hurt the

brass, nor cause any extraction problems - slick as can be.

These speeds are also slightly lower than my Daughter's .260

Remington, but it has a 26" bl. Lawrence barrel on it, in

comparison.
