[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1647694, member: 96226"] [URL]https://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/PDF/hl139partial.pdf[/URL] looks like a good place to start. Look for 5.6x57mm RWS. Should be ridiculously similar if not actually the same thing. Looks like 4831 and 4350 are options around 90gr bullets. Look to something slower yet for 100-115gr. That's a rare enough bird in the USA that I'd suggest contacting your favorite powder manufacturer and seeing if they have some helpful data. Otherwise, I'd personally probably take some Retumbo or H1000 and fill that bad boy up to the body-shoulder junction, stuff a 115gr pill on top and give it a go. Note that that's something I'd do and it's patently dangerous to go eyeball filling cases with random powders and lighting them off.
