6.5x55 Heavy Bullet Loads

[farmerlifter]

Hey all, Im loading 6.5x55se as stated in the title, looking for some help on load data for heavy bullets (153-160gr). All reloading manuals I find are showing loads for old swedish mausers so the loads are quite enemic. I have a brand new tikka t3x in the mail that Im putting open sights on. Has anyone pushed a bullet that heavy past that 2400-2500fps range? Loading for a zastava m70 I had a load of 43.5gr of IMR4350 and was getting around 2350-2400avg out of it. I have new Lapua brass and access to Norma oryx 153gr and Hornady 160gr interlocks. I have tried looking at current 260 rem loads for reference but have not had much luck finding anything in that weight range. Any info is appreciated.

I didn't shoot anything that heavy but 7828ssc was money for 143gr bullets. Just over 2900fps and excellent accuracy

Pretty hot load, you use it for hunting or targets? Im going to be using this as a light weight brush gun so to speak.

I used it for both. Only shot one deer with it but I was happy with the results. I actually ended up using some 6.5x284 data. It was warm but not too hot. Easy bolt lift and no excessive brass stretching. It was a t3 as well.
