Hi all: I just converted my 1869 Swiss Vetterli to centre fire and formed some brass from 348 Winchester, now I'm looking for some load data. Has anyone any experience with this cartridge?
Thanks

If you go the The Swiss Rifles board, try Google, they have an actricle or 3 on doing just what you are. I saw it 4-5 years ago and the gun shot amazingly well.
Thanks guys.
Take care
