This does not exceed the max from the Lyman # 46 (which was using a 94 Carbine, just like me), but I have no idea whether they've further wussified the load standards since then and your gun might not handle what mine does, so do your research into modern data and start low and work up before trying any load.

From a 94 carbine's 17.8" barrel, I found that a Remington 140-gr PSP over 42.0 gr of IMR 4320 (firm crimp with a Lee FCD), gave me 2545 fps with an ES of 32.00 and a SD of 12.33. It was also 1.5" accurate at 100 yards from iron sights out of the old 1901 Carl Gustav Stadt Mauser. That'll do, particularly with these cheap bullets.

Gotta love the 6.5 Swede . . .
