    RAMSHOT POWDER DATA REQUIRED FOR A 1917 6.5mm x 55 SWEDISH MAUSER

    Can any one direct me as where I can find reloading data for Ramshot Hunter powder for use in a 1917 6.5mm x 55 Swedish Mauser.
    I use PPU and Sierra M/King bullets
    I can find data for modern 6.5 x55's but cannot find anything for older models.

    RAMSHOT POWDER DATA REQUIRED FOR A 1917 6.5mm x 55 SWEDISH MAUSER

    Thanks for both replies.

    I've previously looked at the Ramshot data base before, I have read that this data is for modern 6.5 x 55 rifles and not rifles made in the early 1900's.
    I'm currently trying 39.0gr Hunter powder with a PPU 139gr bullet, all appears well, but I'm trying to find some info specifically relating to these old rifles.

    I've now bought some PPU 120gr bullets to try, difficult to find exact info re this, so will experiment taking it easy.
