[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1330661, member: 10178"] As far as the powder charge it comes right out of one of the older Sierra manuals as the accuracy load. 37.8 grs IMR 4895 with 140 gr Sierra Match King. I use Remington cases that have been match prepped by uniforming the primer pockets and removing the burr on the inside of the case flash hole. I use CCIBR2 primers with COAL 3.050 which is max length for working through the magazine in a 96 Swede Mauser. This is a mild load around 2500 fps that is supper accurate and I have won a good number of military shooting matches with this load. Here is a little tip for using the Swede Mausers. Get you a taller front sight and file it down to the point of impact you will need for your chosen load. To make small elevation adjustments between what can be done with the back sight elevator notches use pieces of duct and masking tape under the back sight elevator. At 100 yards a piece of duct tape will move POI about 1" and masking tape will move about 1/2". Have fun. [/QUOTE]
