    7.5x55 K-31

    Ive been playing with some different bullets, I had laying around, in my K-31. I’ve only been using IMR4350. So far I’ve tried Hornady 165gr BTSP, Hornady 180gr SP, and Nosler 180gr ballistic tips. Out of those three bullets Ive had the best accuracy with the Hornady 180gr SP, next was 180gr Ballistic tip, and lastly the Hornady 165gr BTSP.

    I adjusted my seating depth and played around with the stock a little, and managed a group just over an inch with the 180 nosler ballistic tip. Now it is in the lead.

    I've had some good luck with IMR 4350, that other fella looking for a -06 load, I suggested that powder as well.

    IMR4350 is a very good all around powder. It’s the first powder I ever bought, I was loading it in 7x57. Seems like an eternity ago.

    I got a group with 180gr ballistic tip , .020” off the lands, with 45.5gr of IMR4350, that was .8” yesterday. Finally sub MOA. Going to try this one out again.
