Okay, I came into some surplus M9 powder. This stuff is a stick powder, with big fat sticks that sort of resemble a tuna can. Specs appear to be similar to 3031.
Here are my loads:
184GR FMJ-BT, .311 DIA (Surplus)
37gr M9 2,191 FPS
39gr M9 2,270FPS
40gr M9 2,320FPS
42gr M9 2,340 FPS
Also, here are some 4895 loads:
184gr FMJ-BT, .311 DIA (Surplus)
38gr 4895 2070FPS
39gr 4895 2101FPS
150gr Sierra SP Spitzer
42gr 4895 2270FPS
Argentine Factory 150gr military load from same rifle:
2400FPS
This is from a Sporterized 1891 Mauser, 22" BBL.
Happy loading!
