    Varget in the 7.5x55 Swiss.

    Does anyone use Varget in their Swissicon K31??
    I mainly use 168-175 gr projectiles.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    I have read where someone who was testing a lot of rounds for his K31icon, said for Varget, use the load data at Hodgdon for IMR4064. There is a bit of a difference in burn rates so I am not really sure about that suggestion. I imagine one could start with a light load of Varget at IMR4064 specs and see what the pressure signs are like and work up from there. Food for thought.
