In the last RWS handbook of 2002 (9th ed.), the rightly famous "Blue Bible", the two recommended propellants were R 907 and R 904. While R 905 was emphatically warned about, as dangerous.

Many Thanks. Actually my middle name is „Dangerous“ , so I'll go w/ R 905. Any idea of a starting load¿

Raimey, At the time Gene started loading IMR 4350, many of the current powders didn't exist. It still works, but that doesn't mean none of the newer powders will. I don't know the color code of the chart and I don't know what powders you have in your cabinet. If you blow up a rifle, try to pick one that is not as nice as the Jung.

Don't worry as I will keep it Civil as I really like my Fingers. Ah, if I don't have the powder, more than likely I can get it. But I am looking more towards something with a similar burn rate to the Original Powder; maybe >>Normale Ladung 3,2g Spezialpulver<<. I wonder what Spezialpulver might have been......

As always I am a bit pressed for time on all sides, so I may just ferry it to you and see what we come up with regarding the cartridge. What Chrony do you have?

Any idea of how closely aligned the 220 Swift & the 5,6X61R vom Hofe might be?

Ah, I never said it was useful. Just something pictorial. I hate to watch videos by the way. I had rather just read. It just like all those websites you visit & each asks >>DoYou Have 18 Years???<< Then the next window is give us all your info including bank account & SS # and we'll give you 15% off.... Always some Ad in your face....
But I think some progress may lie w/ the 220 Swift w/ a 1:8 twist? What if you did initially use some 0.224 bullets? Would that couple thou add a little safety factory?
Serbus,
