6.5x55SE Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 A while back i bought some 224 Fox non toxic projectiles from Ed ( Edinburgh Sporting goods and Rifles ) who also sent me a suggested load. Having loaded five rounds put a target up at 100yrd using a cz527 222 barrel shortened threaded and Re-Crowned by James ( Jaeger SA ) resting on a cushion over the bonnet of my truck. WOW load five shot five Job Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Very nice accuracy, are you planning on trying at longer distance too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sako7mm Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Very interesting. What was the load Ed suggested? Look forward to seeing what you do with the Fox bullets in your 6.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing what you do with the Fox bullets in your 6.5. Yes before i bought them i spoke to Ed to make sure they would stabilise in a 1in 14 222 he very kindly emailed me suggested load only thing i changed was seating depth. I've been using Barnes TTSX 120gr and Barnes LRX 127 gr in my 6.5x55 for years which do everything i want so I'm very confident the Fox 123gr will shoot and perform well. When I've tried them I'll post a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
