[quote=flintlocke]Seafire,
The load with the 160 grain Sierra and Hornady Round Nose bullets, duplicate the old 1890s velocity at right around 2300 fps.
I load the 160 Hornady RN to that speed for my "bubba Sporter", a Swedish Mauser. I cut the barrel to 23" and crowned it and drilled, tapped and installed a receiver sight. "The grand old Hornady round-nose" as one of our members here refers to it, is the only bullet that I've been able to get to shoot well in that rifle. My other Swede, a Sako 85, gets all the pointy bullets.
