Hublocker6.5x55 load for a ZKK?
A friend just gave me an unused ZKK in 6.5x55 Mauser. Does anyone here have a recommended load for these rifles? I just need a starting point. I realize I'll have to tweak the load to the rifle.
I have H4350 and H4831 powder on hand and Hornady Interlock 140 grain bullets right now.

Husqvarna M98What brass?
Lapua and Norma are the norm and the rest, well they are just behind,
most US-made brass is undersized and will have a lot less volume.
Start with listed starting loads for the powders suggested.

carpediem4570I am afraid your friend has given you a klunker.
That particular rifle will not hold up to the lightest 6.5 loads and therefore, in the interest of saving you a great deal of grief, you should immediately mail it to me so that I may properly look after it.
