Thank you for all of the responses.
Looks like Unique has the consensus.
I'll work up some Unique loads between 10.5 and 12.5 and see what I get. Might find me another sweet spot.
I'm having success with 10.5 gr. Unique as an accurate upper end target round. But this is as far as I've loaded 44 Magnum. My SBH and 1894 haven't done much more than punching paper.

Other than the long/worn throat and strange chamber issue, are these rifles still capable of standard 7mm Mauser load pressures?

The rifle is an old Samco stock liquidation piece that I bought from Robertson Trading in Tennessee. It's one of the nicer versions I've seen, yet they all seem to be beat up pretty bad. Bolt play is...
Thanks to all for the help. I charged powder with a .5cc Lee dipper and got a grain weight of 4.3 everytime where the Lee VMD should give a charge of 4.6gr with the .5cc. However, I loaded them with...

This rifle is not a 7.62 conversion, it is 7mm Mauser.
The rifle is in pretty good shape, the bore and chamber look great for the age. Bolt has about 1/4" knob play, but it should be ok.
I'd...
The only differences I can gather between the 2 is the that the 091 has a bevel base and 2 crimp grooves. From the data I can find they both seem to sit about the same OAL and they weigh the same. I...
I read his article this month, he only touches on data for factory reproduction loads.
Thanks all. For now I'll stick to the data I have on the 700x loads until I can track down that G&A issue.
One of my pet loads is 7.0gr of 700x under a 240-250gr Keith SWC, in either a Special or Magnum case.
From what I've found on the internet, this is supposedly a recommended load from Mike...

Thanks nagantguy!
I've got a Marlin 1894 with the slllloooowww twist. I don't shoot anything above a 240-250 Keith, but if it's possible to go heavier and be accurate i'm all ears!

I'd get one if the price is right. Right now i've got a 10" chamber adapter in 38 special in my H&R Topper. 8-)
I have a 442 and I like the classic 2.7gr of Bullseye under a 148gr hbwc seated flush. I also like 2.2gr of 700x under the same.
