47 grns of Hodgdon Hornady LEVERevolution is getting about 2030 fps, though I don't know if that powder is too high of a pressure. I'll get some IMR 3031 and H4350 coming from Midway and I'll see how those work
I can feel the powder being crushed when seating the bullet. With 4064 I'm getting 1950 fps with 47.5 grns
Its a Mauser 96 action, so I don't want to push it to hard
according to the original data 2200 is the target velocity for 268 grn. I've tried Accurate 2495, Accurate 4064 and Leverlution powder so far, nothing will get above 2000 fps and that's filling it to where the bullet is compressing the powder.
I'm building loads for my 9.3x57 mauser, I'm using 286 grn bullets trying get them to 2200 fps. I tried using Accurate 4064 powder and maxed out the volume at 47 grns only pushing 2015 fps. Is there a slightly hotter powder that will work well for a caliber like this?
I just picked up a Finnish Mosin M28, great shape except for the handguard. The handguard is cracked and broken, and the rear retaining band is missing. Does anyone know where to find one? I've been looking without any success outside of auction listings that ended 15 years ago (why those show...
I just picked up a Webley Mk VI with the shaved cylinder, I'm looking for an original cylinder to convert it back to 455. Does anyone have an idea where to look for one? I'm not having any luck. I can load low power 45 auto rim so I can shoot it, just would like to have a 455 cylinder.

Both of my mosins, the 1954 chinese cabine that I modified and the 1942 91/30 original cycle very easily. The T53 is easier because of the long bolt handle.
I finished the last major part, the muzzle brake. I machined it out of 316 stainless and screwed it on with 9/16x18 threads. The recoil is heavily reduced.
