I'll be working up loads for some new 240 grain Cast Bullets in the upcoming weeks. (7.5x55 Swiss)
It's hard enough as it is to find established "Safe-Loads" for the K31 Swiss cartride. I was wondering
if one of you guys with reloading software could maybe give me a clue where to start with such a heavy
specialty cast bullet?
I have the following powders at my disposal right now. If I have to I can scrape up some spare-change and buy
a pound of something different.
Varget, Reloader 7, H4895, This rifle has a twist of 10.6; I think.
I was; and still may go the 16 grains of 2400 route and work up from there but, I want to be sure that these bullets
remain stablized beyond three hundred yards.
I've never used software to calculate or work-up new loads for specific bullet weights. I don't even know if these
software programs work like this.
If they do, can one of you smarter guys help me out? I'll check back in anticipation.
I'm hoping for something safe that will get me into the 1900-2000 FPS range in order to stablize these Long-Gas-Checked-Heavies
at extended ranges.
Thanks for your help.
