Min load for swedish mauser with imr 3031

[BMcK]

I know imr 3031 isn't the ideal powder for the swedish mauser.
That being said, any idea the min load for imr 3031 with a 140 grain SP.

I find two different manuals with the max load being 36 and the other reading 36.7.

Thanks

My comprehension sucks...

My Hornady 3rd edition lists 30.9 gr as the minimum and 36gr as the maximum. As you mention this is not an ideal powder but if you have lots I suppose you could use it up for this or use it as an excuse to get a new rifle.

Thanks for the quick response.


That's pretty much what I figured, but wanted to be sure.

My Swede seems to quite like 34 grains of 3031 under a 140 grain pill.

My Lee 2nd edition Manual list a start load of 30.5 grs IMR 3031 and a Max load of 34.5 grs with a 140 gr bullet.
