7.5X54 MAS cast bullet load data?

[water witch]

Hi all, I'm trying to locate some cast bullet load data for use in my MAS 36. The Lyman cast bullet book is silent on 7.5X54 MAS cast loads.

I was considering just using Lyman's 30/40 Krag recipes in the MAS, but then thought it might be better to find some actual (accurate) cast loads cooked up for this specific calibre.

Are their any internet resources or reloading books anyone could refer me to?

thank you

I think you should research the articles from Mr. C.E. Harris on that subject.
It is intitled "The Load" and discusses of the use of a relatively fast powder (Red Dot) coupled with medium to heavy weight cast bullets (plain and gas-checked) in many military cartridges.
If I remember well, I published some data from that gentleman one or two months ago.

For cast bullet load development in these size cals. I start with 19.5 grs. of IMR 4759 and 180 to 215gr. bullets, it shows best accuracy in my .308 with 4 different cast bullets. It is a light load and is easy on the ears and shoulder.
