Today at the Bench.....

[Mowgli Terry]

Today: We did some work on the Mauser based 256 Newton. We may have a scope malfunction. Plans are to make two more small batches of test reloads. Right now sure likes like the problem is on the outside of the rifle. All indications are that rifle will be extremely accurate. The test rounds we ran today was loaded with 48.5 grs. of RL-19 and an old Speer 130gr. flat base spitzers. The next two batches will be using RL-17 and Shooters World 4350, In the meantime I'm trying to find some Sierra 140gr. bullets.

That sounds like an interesting one. I hope you get the problem sorted out. Do you have a picture of that rifle?

So far I have only tried RL17 in my K31 7.5x55, with 175gr Berger VLD hunting bullets. Ive had great results with it in that platform. I’m planning on trying it in 257 Roberts also.
