6.5x55 pet loads for M96?

[curlymaple42]

I just scored a really beautiful Swedish Mauser M96 Carl Gustov from our gun show this weekend. Just great condition on everything. I am super happy!! On that note, I need to get dies and such for it and was wondering if anyone has any pet loads they use in that rifle? 140gr bullets are the preferred of course, but I also have a pretty good selection of 120gr bullets, so if anyone has played with those, that would be helpful too! I load the 120gr SMK's, Prohunters, and fireform x39 brass with Rem 120gr bullets for the 6.5Grendel, so I got that stuff around.

Thanks everyone!!

Why do you want to shoot your pet?

Smartass!! Although, when the damn cat walks across my face in the night, I do have evil thoughts... Those wooden bullet blanks would probably work just fine, but I don't need load data for those as I just bought the whole ammo! hahahaha!
