I have a m/1896 Swedish Mauser that was made in 1902 that is in excellent condition and it has always been very accurate using the surplus ammo that I bought several years ago. I have not ever loaded this cartridge before and would like to replicate the performance that I get from the 140 gn ammo that I have been shooting a much as possible within the ability to find components . I found some Sierra 140 gn BTHP and some Prvi Partizan Brass 6.5x55 and have not decided what powder to use. If anyone has experience loading this cartridge for this rifle I would appreciate any advice.
