[QUOTE="6.5x300, post: 222653, member: 10713"] Also use Horndy 140 SST's from M94 Sweed 17" barrel. With healthy dose of RL22 I maxed out vel @2600. Max load listed is 47.5 gr this gave me 2500 fps. I am running 50.0 gr. of course develope load data with caution. But in a new action you should not have any problums as all data in the books is mild for the old sweed rifles. I Load to max length my magazine will allow @3.210. Seated out like this allows me alittle more powder capacity and I'm no were nere the lands. Have not shot game with it at long range just pop cans way out there. Bullet performed well at 40 yards, neck shot on 2 large mulleys with 1 inch exit wound and minimal meat damage. Should be a great shooter for you. Good shooting [/QUOTE]
