I have a T.T Proctor rifle built on a 1927 Mexican contract intermediate Mauser action.

It has a Shillen barrel, Timney trigger and walnut stock.

I am going to Africa with it and have been told to load a heavier bullet than I normally use.

The suggestion is that I load Nosler partition 140grain bullets.

Calibre is 6.5X57.

Anyone out there have any load data that may work?

This is my first post. I'm a shotgunner really but have hunted elephant in Botswana, rather like the dangerous game thing and I have a definite interest in double rifles.
