Does anyone know if Handloader Magazine ever did an article on the 11x52R/43 Dutch Beaumont ?

I'm looking for smokeless powder load data for this cartridge


Thanks

Mike

You may have given them their first new idea in decades - lol.

Maybe I should put a bug in the ear of Mike Venturino....nah he would only know 2 kinds of powder for that rifle , black or 5744

Close but no cigar Swiss 1 1/2 Fg :

11mm Mauser Load for Old Military Rifles Reloading Data

Warning! Notes: primer: Federal 215 Large Rifle Magnum; brass: Huntington Die Specialties; bullets cast in a custom Tom Ballard mould; bullets poured of 1-20 (tin-lead) alloy and lubed with SPG; sizing diameter: .446 inch; chronograph notes are for five rounds and were taken with an Oehler Model 35P with start screen at approximately 6 feet; the 11mm Mauser Model 71/84 has a 31.5-inch barrel (Handloader Issue #235 - January/February, 2008

Contact Clive Barker over in Flatonia Texas.

He did an article on that cartridge, IIRC.

He LIVES for those old Mil. cartridges, including the transitional era ones.

Load data for the .43 Mauser should damn near laterally transfer, I'd venture. Shot LOTS of Dominion stuff, off the shelf smk loads,....never reloaded with smk, though,....the thing RAN better on Black Powder with soft alloy and proper BP lubes.

Moose killin' machine of the first order, that one.
