Need load for old 6,5x55 Mauser w/ Norma powder

I have an old 6,5x55 military riffle, and want to load rounds with 125 grs. partition bullets, I have NORMA powder three types, N202, N204 and MRP, if anyone has good loads with these components I would be greatful.

Thank you, G. Olafsson

What kind of rifle?? If its a Mauser I would try 48grains og MRP, and carefully work up to 50 or so grains. The N204 is probably also an option, check for 129gr bullet loads at the norma site, they offer online load data.

If its a Krag rifle I would not load more than max. 46-47grains MRP. If you read Norwegian you should get "Ladeboken", lots of loads for the 6,5x55....
