I just picked up a Swedish mauser in 6.5x55. I was working on some loads today and tried some 4064 with pretty good velocity numbers. It has the original 29" barrel and with 38.5 grains of IMR 4064 I'm getting 2550 f.p.s. which I read was the standard factory load velocity for these rifles. I also tried some IMR 4350 up to 42 grains and got 2500 f.p.s. Since I'm not real familiar with these rifles I wanted to know if these were safe loads for the old Swedes. Forgot to add that I'm using 140 grain Sierra matchkings. (Guess that would have helped, huh?)
Thanks,
