Swede mauser m96 start load.

Wasn't my reply. As I stated, extrapolate, and start low. I have owned a few military Swedish Mausers myself. - dan

Yes, I get that, but the Speer book is the only one that has data specifically for military mausers. They also only have 100gr and 140gr bullets listed. Now, to extrapolate you need to have the same powder for both, which you can do in this case, but there are only 3 powders that are listed for both bullet weights, all of which are not the best burn rate for either.

So yes, you can extrapolate, but you are limited in powder options and ideal velocities.

As an update, 44grns of imr4350 has me at 2585fps average. And it'll keep in a half inch group at 50. So it'll stay there. Sighted close to 2inch high at 50 should get me around a 250 yard zero. May lower that a bit when I have time. But 4inch high at 150 is still kill zone anyways.
