Loaded 6.5x55 Swede yesterday.
150ish rounds of 160 grn subs
150ish rounds of 140grn subs
150-ish rounds of 140-grain supers
100-ish rounds of 150 grn supers.

For the subs i used TiteGroup. 9.2 and 9.0 grains respectively. The supers I used were 4064 in a couple of different weights.

All the brass for the subs was bought used. I had to toss about 10 pieces. I annealed, sized, and trimmed them yesterday. The supers were all new brass.

Shooting subs out of the cases stretches the necks something fierce, so a full length resize is necessary. The annealing made a noticeable difference in sizing and trimming.
