Hey all so finally got around to making some hunting rounds for my K31. I cant seem to get the same accuracy as the GP11 surplus iv been shooting. The last load I tried was 150gr sierra game king bullets with 40gr of IMR 4064. Anyone have any recommended load with simular results to the GP11
 
I use Hornady match HPBT 168gr projectiles over 50 gr of Reloader 17. You'll have to load a dummy round to figure out what the COAL will be for the bullet in your rifle. I use once fired Prvi Partizan boxer primed brass. I get superb accuracy with this load. You want your cartridge just a few thousand off the lands.
 
I've had good luck with 150 grain Hornady SST with 41 grains of IMR3031 in .284 Brass. I can hit the 300 yard gong easily so thats what I'll be trying this fall on a whitetail.
 
There's so many options... my new K31 and dies are in the mail...For a good accuracy, I was thinking of using the following load for IMR-4064 using 168gr BTHP with 42.0gr - 2500 fps. (Minimum 38.2gr - 2300 fps to max load at 45.8gr - 2700 fps) with hornady brass...
as "Samsplacci71" wrote, I you'll have to load a dummy round to figure out what the COAL will be...

Anyone have tried this load!?
BTW....I'm not an expert on reloading....just started this year.
Thanks
 
In my K31, the most accurate load to date is : 147 grain FMJBT pushed by 42.5 grains of IMR4895 with Winchester large rifle primer and a COL of 2.920. Accurate and pleasant recoil.
 
I have had good results with Prvi brass, RL17 powder, and 165 gr interlocks or 168 gr hornady match. Have to seat them deep , but they shoot very nice and achieve gp11 velocity with around the same amount of powder gp 11 uses. I have read that the Swiss produced RL17 is pretty much the same powder used in gp 11.

I wish I could buy the bullets used in the gp 11 in bulk.
