Jerry,
Yes to both questions:

Speer Loading Manual#11, page 153.
Rifle:Swede Mauser Model 94 w/ 18" Barrel(1-7.5 twist)

Maximum Load:

IMR 4831 50.0 grains @2820fps with 120gr Spitzer
IMR 4350 49.0 grains @2788fps with 120gr Spitzer


SD -
Thnx, I don't have Speer #11.

I have older books with 260 Rem & 6.5 Swede-NONE show those loads. My NEWEST manual is Nosler 7, they don't list these charges.

I've been on line Hogdon & Nosler- they don't show those 'charges'. "THEY" list LESS powder and velocities from @2900-3000. AGAIN I can't get near that speed w/their charges.

I have shot 50 IMR 4831 AND 49 IMR 4350--the primer pockets are STILL tight. Velocity with IMR 4350 is pretty decent. All this is 'because' of Denton's Pressure Tested loads. THANKS

Thnx Again, I'll post more as I get to shooting groups. I'm getting there. wink
