The book, " Modern Reloading" put out by the Lee company gives the following info for a 108 grain jacketed bullet load...
Using powder type v-N165 starting grains of 45.9 and never exceed a high load of 51.2 grains of powder... ~ 3000 fps .. or
Using powder type v-N160 starting grains at 44.2 and never exceed a high load of 49.3 grains of powder... ~ 2963 fps .. or
Using powder type v-N150 starting grains at 37.8 and never exceed a high load of
42.1 grains of powder... ~ 2890 fps

Minimum OAL for all loads was losted at 3.025

What about IMR 4064, 4891, 4350 or AA 3031? these are all the powders I have and I' m on a budget, so i don' t have much money to spend on powder. Thanks in advance!

I have Sierra data for 100 grain bullets that uses IMR-4064, NRA data 100 grain bullets that uses DUP 4350, Lee data for a 100 grain bullet that uses H-4350, and Hornady data for a 100 grain bullet that uses IMR-4895, IMR-4064, IMR- 3031, and IMR 4350. I think you could go with the low end of the load data...then drop by 5% and you' d be safe to start working your way up.
I' d suggest that you try a few other locations on the net to ask this same question. The 6.5 X 55 usually shines with bullets from 120 grain and up.....but you might find someone with some experience with the lighter balls.
