Hmm. I'm not sure. I was playing around the other day with IMR 4350 and some Hornady bullets. Won high overall score at a military rifle shoot, the second day I owned it. It's a m96 Swedish mauser, so whatever kind of wood they used is what the stock is. It does have some nice figure for a military rifle. I look forward to shooting this one more. Found some Lapua brass the other day for $80.00/100. Well worth it to me, for the quality of brass you get. By the way, this old rifle was shooting 1 moa 3 shot groups, with 3 different factory loads. Surprisingly, thats with irons. Should be a pretty easy rifle to load for.
