I have loaded for the Swede and the 6.5X57, from 100g to 165g original Barnes bullets. Best powders I have found have been IMR4895, IMR4350, RL-19, RL 22 and Vitavouri N550 and N560. Some have more velocity than others, and there maybe more newer powders that offer more. With the Swede, I have found velocity is not that important, at least not trying to squeeze out the last 50fps to 100fps. The animal will not know the difference
