help with reloading data for eld-m in 6.5x55swede?

[BondageStrike]

Hi

I bought some 140grains eld-m and was going to use them in my 6.5x55. i am struggling to find reloading data for it with more european powders. i allready have norma 204 and was hoping to use this. my barrel length is 67cm. please help

Recently got this from Berger. Should be good starting load data for the 140's:

I have an 18" carbine barrel on my Swede so I mainly use IMR 4350 for the faster burn rate.

Doesnt have your exact bullet but ones with similar grains, maybe start low with one of those?

Norma powder is not common in the states.

That data was only meant as a point of reference so yes use the starting loads and work up. I don't shoot the 140's myself but I am working up loads for 108, 129, 135 and 156 grain bullets. The is also a 6.5x55 Swede reloading section pinned at the top you should check out.
