    Powder selection for 6.5x55 M38 Swede.

    I have an M38 Swedish Mauser on the way and will be reloading for it. I'm planning to use 140gr HPBT projectiles and trying to match the service load velocity (from what I understand this is around 2550fps?)

    What powders has everyone had good luck with? I am planning to try 2209 and maybe 2208 as I have them on hand, but I see powders in the range of 2213SC are regularly recommended.

    Shiny brass for your viewing pleasure.
