:oh noes: Anyone out there that can supply me with any reloading info on the 5.6x39 (220Russian) calibre & 6.5 Grendel as there's virtually no info in my manuals. I only have a dialup computer so find it ""VERY"" difficult to down load the web sites.
Thanks in advance.

I was having a look at the cartridge recently as there was a good deal on trade me for a 220 Russian. I found the below which was a cut out from a 1971 Handloader Magazine Article....
IMR 4198 is equivalent to ADI 2207 so would be a good place to start.
Attachment 113297
22PPC by another name ?
I'm not an expert buy presumably any small differences would depend on the brass you can obtain and the action you put it in, rather than the cartridge designation.
There is data for 22PPC and 6.5 grendel in the ADI powders manual. We mostly use the online manual but a paper one does exist so ring around and see if you can get one. Someone here could advise where to get one.
Theres a whole forum board on grendel reloading at 65grendel.com and also two paper books available but you could struggle to get around the site on dial up.
that last paragraph is GOLD...... in strong action .222 data is good starting place.
Yeah I thought that was pretty hard case. Although the paragraph before has a bit more explanation.

Wait are we talking about 5.45x39? the standard Russian military round? then there is heaps of loading info out there. What do you want to know?
