Best loads for milsurps are those that match origanal balistsic saves fiddling with the sights.

Each rifle is a unique device, there is not magic load. A load which is safe in one rifle may be dangerous in another. Simply changing primers or brass can have a significant effect upon pressures. Buy at least 2 manuals and read them thoroughly. Another good device to have is a chronograph, there some very good ones at a reasonable price.

Handloading can be /is a very rewarding hobby but must be done as methodically as possible. The internet, even top rate sites such as this are not a place to get reloading information.

I presently reload for 12 different calibres, the milsurps are; 6.5x55, .303, 7.62x54R, 8x57. In the .303 using different powders can cause a 3 inch lateral shift in point of impact. There is no easy anser. GRF
