Why not both?i have my 7.5 brass all prepped and ready , trying to decide on 110 or 155 grain?
Partly the reason I chose to replace my K31 with a Swedish Mauser...Straight pulls are really neat
Love the K31
Friend had a Ross(?) years back....he was always afraid to shoot the thing.....they had a reputation for not remaining in battery......
im loading up enough for the 2 cmp matches.Why not both?
do you have a source for GP11 projectiles ? Love to get some original gp11 bullets and load up all my GP11 brass.the original GP11 is a 174g pellet of great precision. Get you 600 yard on !
compared to the lot of gp11 I had (500 rds) i get equal results with almost any bullet.Obvs different guns like different loads.
But all things equal and within reason I find that the heavier projectile that is closest to whatever the normal issued ammo or .mil match ammo may be yields best/most consistent results
Also, heavier projectiles handle wind a whole lot better, again within reason
110 vs 155 is a pretty big difference, I would expect wind to play havoc with the 110's no?
I havent heard of many people getting significantly better hand load results over GP 11. Are you?

My shooting is at 200 yards 98% of the time. No need for heavy bullets when hunting Xs at 200 yards or less.

Yeah , i feel lucky to have as many ranges in my area with a few going to 200 yards.No I don't but some years ago there was talk about importing some but the Swiss connection said there were some legal issues so it died. 168 and 174g Match Kings will have to do. I still have an open partial case of GP11 about 140 rounds in the small boxes and two full cases.
I also no longer have a range over 200 yards within 100 miles. Hard times.
