Powder for 6.5x55

So i was using 2209 with really good results but that stuff has become pretty much non existant over here. What are you guys using?

AR2206H works fine for me.

We still have 2209, but 2213SC gives good results in the Swede, 2217 also. The Swede seems to like slow powders but as bladeracer said 2206H will work as does 2208/Varget. Reloader 19 is very popular in the US, what powder choices does NZ have these days?

Being such a small market its what ever turns up. Seems to be a bir of the vitori or whatever at the moment. A few of the adi ones are available havnt seen any winchester around for a while

If you can get your hands on Vihtavuori N150 it is a great powder for the Swede.

Believe it or not my Tikka shoots .22 MOA with 2208.

using reloader 22 and 26 here, good accuracy and speed. Will need to flip back to ADI 2208/2209 shortly as I'm almost out of reloader

In France people also use N140 or N150 with good results.
The 6.5 is really not fussy.
