I am wondering what you handloaders are loading in your Swedish Mausers? I have always loaded thw 140 Grain Hornady sp in mine but this year I am stepping down to the 120 grain bullet. I have tried two loads so far and both are good for accuracy but a little low on the velocity end. I Chronograped two loads today. The fisrt was 46.0 grains of H 4350 with WW LR primer and 120 grain Remington bullets. the OCL was 2.950. This load clocked an average of 2695fps. The second load was 39.0 Grains of IMR 3031. Same primer and same OCL. Remington LR primer and 120 grain Remington bullets. This one clocked 2709 fps. I shot a 6 shot group useing three of each load and it was under 1 1/2 inches so the POI is close enough to use either load. I am one grain below the Max with both loads so I quess I am not going to gain more than 50-70 fps by maxing the loads out. Anyone loading the 120 in this cartridge. I seem to get almost the same valocity from the 120 grain, 129 grain and the 140 grain. I am sure that the chamber on the old military rifles like mine is a little to long for the best performance from lighter shorter bullets. The 140 kills like the Hammer Of Thor in this caliber. For my hunting loads I am going to load the Sierra Pro- Hunter bullets.
