Default RE: 6.5x55 loads??

I upped the charge to the max on my 3031 load and went back to the range. Going up one grain jumped my velocity by a little over 55 fps. This gets me in the 2760 range. Its an accurate load and I think I will leave it at that. RE-22 would do a little better but maybe on the next batch. I have about 50 rounds of the Sierra 120 Pro-hunters loaded. That should do for this year. My wife will use the same rifle this year instead of her 250. She likes shooting the 6.5x55 too. I had her run my loads through the chronograph to get used to the gun. She has been shooting for many years. I have yet to see her miss a deer.
