I posted this on the reloading forum, but want to post here also. I NEED some reloading data for this cartridge....starting loads, min/max....whatever. I've done a internet search and, so far, found squat. Anyone want to share?

THANKS!

My friend was telling me today that he got a sticky bolt somewhere between 75gr and 80gr. Switched to Varget, I don't know how many but probably you could start at 75gr. with no problem.

A real man would intuitively know that that was a candyass load and add at least 15gr to that for starters!! homer
I got a feeling in anything under 11 pounds the Donnelly load would eat on both ends!

Let us know what your findings are...

Thanks, gents. The gun weighs a touch over nine pounds....I have a feeling anything around 2300-2350 will wake me up better than coffee.
I'll post loads and fps once I get going. I actually have some WR (Kynoch) factory ammo coming as part of the deal...I'll chrono those too.

Thanks, again.
