folks i am wanting to try this combo,, 30 -40kr w/ leverevolution 160g, and leverevolution powder, thought i would start with a 30-30 load and go from there any thoughts?
Easy fix, switch to 170gr Partitions of a TSX if you want to push the speeds a little. You won't have under penetration issues until you hit Africa. They are good for a solid 3 feet pf penetration from low end 30-30 speeds up to full bore 30-06 speeds easy. Cannot speak for the leverevolution stuff I have never used it.What gun are you shooting, most Krags don't have tube mags so there's no reason not to use regular pointed bullets. A krag is gonna be capable of over driving that bullet a little and possibly under penatrate. If you just want to try something just to see how the shoot I see no problems.
it does not get any better then a T3 in 6.5x55 that is one superb rifle cartridge combination.The Sweed in a modern action is the perfect caliber/power for CXP2 class game inside 300 yards and thanks to it's impressive ballistic efficiency it is still capable out to twice that distance, all in a light kicking easy to shoot package, personality wise it is alot like a slightly more efficient 270 Win with a preference for heavier bullets.tikka t3 in 6.5 x 55 is my "go to" rifle too
