Hi Mussoner,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes you found the standard NRA highpower program.  I am shooting the same program but at 200 yards with reduced sized targets.  That speedloader seems like quite a good tool for rapid loading.  I have never heard of one before and I am sure they are quite rare.  Maybe it might not be too difficult to make something that functions in a similar fashion.  I also liked the link with the quick shooter. It must take quite a bit of practice to shoot a bolt action rifle that quickly but with a smooth operating Krag I would think the rifle should be up to it. The vast majority of the shooters here now use the AR15 typle rifles for this type of competion but the M1A probably is the second most used rifle.  The sights are pretty good on the M1A and the 7.62 round certainly has enough power to shoot at longer ranges.

My loads for the 6.5 x 55mm consists of 44gn of IMR 4831 and a Sierra 120 grain matchking bullet.  I worked up to this load and it seems to shoot fine.  I will let you know how it shoots.  Thanks again,

Haakon
