[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 895220, member: 10178"] I have fooled with the Swede for a lot of years. I bought up a number of the 96 Swede Mauser rifles when you could get them for under $100. I have left all of them but one in the military configuration. It was one that some Bubba had already started hacking on. It had a good bore so I sported it out. With that long 29" barrel left on it you can get it smoking without going over the 46000 CUP level. I really like AA4350. With 46 grs. which is a 1/2 gr under max charge according to Accurate to still be under 46000 CUP with 120 gr Sierra SP or Ballistic tips it does right at 3000 fps. With 45 grs max according to Accurate and 140 Sierra or Hornady SP bullets it does right at 2800 fps. Both loads shoot really accurate and flat and hammer deer. I have been shooting the 130 Accubond in my 264 Win mag and from it's performance on deer if I wanted to have just one load for my Swede to take anything from a mouse to a moose it would be with it going as fast as I could safely push it accurately.
