[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1258377, member: 10178"] I have a number of these military Swede Mausers in different models as well as one that has been sported out. One thing to keep in mind is that they are small ring Mausers that should be limited to 46000 CUP loads. Plus they average 100 years old. You did not say what length barrel you have. The Model 96 had 29" and 38 24" and the carbine 18". The sporter rifle that I built out of a 96 that someone had already started hacking on still has the 29" barrel. The reason that I left it that long is because with under 46000 CUP loads it still will get high velocity. I have killed a bunch of white tail deer that average 100 lb doe and 150 lb buck. I have used the 120 gr Sierra SP and Nosler BT with 46 grs Accurate 4350, Rem case, Fed 210 Match primer, COAL 3.050 which is as long as can be loaded and work through the magazine. These rifles have a loooooooog throat. I average 3000 fps with this load. I also have used 140 Sierra SP and Hornady Interlock with 45 grs Accurate 4350, Rem case, Fed. 210 Match primer, COAL 3.050 and get 2800 fps. These loads are super accurate, well under MOA. They kill deer BANG FLOP. I have killed deer out to a little over 300 yards with both loads with all the bullets and the results are the same on game BANG FLOP but I also usually take shoulder shots.

It ran about 50 yards which is typical of a heart shot deer. :D If you have a 24" barrel your velocity should be around 2800 fps with 120s and 2600 with 140s with these loads. According to the Accurate Manual these are MAX loads and are just under 46000 CUP.
