[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 827147, member: 10178"] Nobody has ask this yet. What twist do you have in the barrel? If it is a 1-in-9 there could be your problem. Too slow for those long 142s. Could be your barrel just does not like the 142s or RL22. I have always had great success with the 4350 powders in the Swede. I have shot 45 grs Accurate 4350 with 140 gr Sierra Match, Sierra Game Kings and Hornady Interlock SPP in my M-96 sported Mauser with the 29" barrel and it shoots sub MOA and I average 2850 fps and this is according to Accurate is an under 46000 CUP load. I use Remington cases, Fed 210M primer, OAL 3.050 For a strictly target load for out to 200 yards for my open sight military M-96 Mauser 6.5X55 Swedes 37.8 grs IMR 4895, Rem case, CCI BR2, 140 gr Sierra Match King, OAL 3.050 runs in the 2500s fps but is one tack driving load. With your load it could be something as simple as changing your primer make. I have had so so loads turn into bug hole shooter loads by just using a different primer. Ain't getting a new rifle to shoot well fun especially when you can't get the stuff you need to do it with? :D [/QUOTE]
