I have this old mold in "like new condition" that I bought a few years back and was planning on trying to work up some mild loads in my Persian Mauser. The mold looks like the old 311413 on steroids. I am thinking "the load" with 2400 powder might be a good place to start. I know some of the folk on here are not real crazy about spitzers, but they really work for putting a hole in a high-power target at 100 or 200 yards.........................

Classic "the load" 20 gr 2400
Or 21-22 gr 4227
Or 22 gr 4759

I was thinking the "classic load" was 16 grs. of 2400?................

16 grains was always my go-to load in 8x57, 8x60, 30-06, 8x50R, 8x56R, 7.62x54R and several others.

Suspect it would be a good place to start.

Could just read the first sticky on Military Rifles.

Took me a while to remember that it's right there at the top.:killingpc

'The load' 13 grains of red dot. Shoots great in most of my military rifles.

[Bakebfr480]

I start with 16 grains of 2400 with cast bullets in all of my mil-surp rifles.

My NRA Publication has an article by C. E. Harris titled "THE LOAD OR: What You Can Do With 13 Grains of Red Dot " it is also reprinted in the Handloaders Digest - 12th Edition .
As far as I'm concerned the REAL The Load in military rifles with cast boolits is 13 grains of Red Dot .
The other loads just think they are real ...they ain't ...they're imposters .
