Does anyone know of a good powder to use in 7.5x55 Swiss loads?
Last Friday I loaded 150 rounds. The Horandy Manual listed powders I did not have on hand. The only one listed I had access to in any real quantity was some old IMR 4350. This works, but because the powder dispenser doesn't like to release the extruded powder in nice consistent groups I ended up setting it to throw a charge in the 43 grain range and then add powder by hand till I got to 45 grains.
As you can imagine, this took quiet a while and it took me 2 hours just the load the cases with powder.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a powder that dispenses nicely but is suitable for use in a rifle cartridge this size?
I have access to lots of Accurate 2520 and Accurate 2700, but I can't find any loads for them.
I'm hoping for a middle of the road FPS, 2400-2500.
Thanks for your patience.
