I an sure Buckstix will work up good safe loads for the rifle using temperature stable powders.


Yes, I will be testing in a week or so.

.

Here is some additional loading info for the 11.2x72 Schuler from; Rifle Magazine; Issue #144 - November, 1992

This info should help others who want to shoot their rifles in this caliber.

Lots of safe loads above 2250 fps and several safe loads above 2350 fps

RWS cases were used in all loads. Bullets were seated to produce an overall cartridge length of 3.27 inches. Velocities are instrumental as recorded 10 feet from the muzzle by a PACT Professional Chronograph. Testing was conducted at temperatures ranging from 85 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Near maximum loads may be excessive in some rifles. Reduce all loads 10 percent and work up only as pressure signs permit.
