I'm after some points of view on powders for the Swedish M96 and M38. The online consensus is that the actions of these milsurps need to be treated with common sense respect due to the age of components and inherent limits of the small-ring Mauser design. I have reloaded for my Swedish rifles at several times in the past with good results using IMR 4895. I now have new PPU 6.5 brass and 140gn SMK bullets waiting on the shelf, but I'm unclear as to which of the post-REACH powders would be the best choice. Vihtavouri's load data seems to suggest N150 as the optimum for 6.5x55 but some others have suggested N160. As all options are currently very difficult to obtain, I want to be clear what I should be looking for before I go hunting for a tub of unobtainium powder.

Point already made, oops

But mils in the army were different, surely - 6400 mils in a circle? Was that just rounding up 62381 to an easily divisible figure? I also sort of remember that Warsaw Pact equipment used 6000 mils?
