Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I haven't loaded for the Swede but I would try a powder and start a few grain under max and work up from there. You might try different powders and bullet combos. The closest I have loaded is for the 6.5/284 or the 257 bob. Most reloading sources will be just about the same.

I have had some great results using the Nosler 140gr HPBT Bullet Custom 250 round box and IMR4064. Someday I would like to try some Sierra Matchkings in 140. Just beginn with starting loads and work up. Mine works well with just over starting loads for 100 yard shooting.

Thanks all.....was all set to go the other night, got it cleaned, sized, deprimed.....then realized I didn't have the right size pilot for the trimmer....duh! Have to get that ordered or make a trip to Cabela's. Guess I have plenty of time....this weather is crazy, rain and more rain. :-(
