6.5 x 55 mm Ljungman AG42B

[Colossal Ursidae]

Hello all, I recently picked up a ljungman ag42b and was wondering what others are using for their loads and where they are picking up their supplies.

I've read that H4895 and 4064 are used and wanted to see other's results.

Imr 4895 with #34 Cci primers recommended. I found primers at rusty wood trading co

What about brass and projectiles?

Try budget shooting supply's on here . But you can find components easily

I used IMR 4895 pretty successfully in mine, it helps to place a tarp on the ground about 6 feet out and to the right whilst shooting so you can actually recover your brass. If you vary your powder charge it will eject brass at different angles. PPU brass is wonderful stuff btw. You can also change your rear sight to better suit round nosed bullet if you're trying to recreate the early iteration of the 6.5x55 cartridge. Good luck!

I've had good results with IMR4064 and 139/140 gr bullets.
