Reloading 6.5X55 Swede

[Drachenblut]

Hello,

So I have some 140 grain lead gas-check bullets, some 100 grain FMJ's and I think some 129 grain FMJ as well. I am looking for loads for these, particularly the leads.

I am looking to use IMR 4064, IMR 4350, Accurate Arms 4350 and Winchester 760. I will be shooting this in an 1894/14 Swede Carbine, so lighter loads are preferred.

If anyone can suggest some, maybe some powders or loads that they use, that would be swell!

Thank you in advance,
Drachenblut

4350 across the board...

Accurate Arms 4350, Hodgdon 4350, IMR 4350? Please specify for loads?

Doesnt matter, consult your reloading manual - theres usually a grain or two difference amongst the manufacturers. If you're too frugal to own a manual - you can pick up reloading info for Hodgdon and IMR on the Hodgdon website.
Each rifle is unique, so asking for someones "pet" load is pretty well a waste of time.

"...140 grain lead gas-check bullets..." I have cast 143 grain(3 grains won't matter), 100 and 120 grain jacketed data in my old Lyman book, if you want it. 2400, IMR4227 and IMR4895 for the cast bullet.
"...looking to use..." Pick one to start. Lots of 100 and 129 grain jacketed data on Hodgdon's site.
