Very Nice Feenix Looks like mine except mine is in a Monte Carlo stock I'm using the droptube & it does help Benchracer, but I'm not real comfortable with compressed loads even though I know it's more efficient to have a full case

I already noticed an accuracy increase with the Win primers compared to the CCIs,,,, loaded a few last night with IMR4931 just for giggles & grins,,, just seems to overload the case,,, most anything over 46gr seems to be compressed

thx again benchracer I was worried I might be stressing the action I'll work it up slowly until I can find some 7828 SSC I've got some 130 & 140 Noslers to work with next

Thx for your replies benchracer I'll grab some IMR 7828SSC when I can find it If you wouldn't mind please run 41.5gr of CFE-223 under 120gr Sierra MK thru QL to see what the pressure is,,,, it's been very accurate for my limited experience

It's a small ring Mauser 1904 Carl Gustav in a sporter stock & yes I realize that the modern guns are probably stronger but I also know that the Swedish steel was Much Better than anything the Germans had

Thx guys My frustration with working the 4831 lead to me looking at the CFE-223 I had laying around,,,, made a very accurate 120gr load at 41.4gr, a ballistics calculater, can't remember which one, showed it at 2475fps out of the 18in barrel, but I'm afraid of pressure with a 140gr. When...

Thx I haven't seen any IMR or Hogdon but my LGS just got a couple of lbs of Accurate 4350 I'll grab

I'm looking for loads for my 6.5x55 Swede with 18in barrel I didn't have much luck with IMR 4831 but I have a decent load for CFE-223 under 120gr Sierra MK HPBT

Fl boy,,,, grew up wing hunting,,, trying to learn mid-long range hunting Working with an 18in barrel with a 1904 Carl Gustof 6.5x55 Mauser been playing with a CFE-223 load under Sierra 12 MK HPBT Didn't have any luck with finding a load with IMR 4831
