    That's a beauty for sure.  Hunted with my T3 Hunter 6.5-55 for one fall right after I got it.  Took two deer in Wyoming and two in Idaho.  Noooo problem!    No bucks, just fine freezer meat.

    I bought my T3 6.5-55 Hunter blue walnut last fall.  It came from Eurooptics a couple days before leaving for a Whitetail trip to Wyoming, so no time.  It's a tack driver, bugholeing at 100 yds.  Would like to load some 140s a little over the books, maybe 2650 or so, just to flatten the trajectory.  I know the books are quite conservative out of respect for the Swede 96, 94 and the Norwegian Krag, and this new rifle ought to take just a little more steam than those older war horses.  I have Reloader 22, H4831 and several other powders on hand..  Any sugestions??  Thanks
