I might try the N555 later. A Swedish hunter already tried that powder with 230gr ELD-X bullets with bad results. He likes to use even faster gunpowder.
In which caliber have you used the N555?
Anyone reloading 8.5x55 Blaser?

Interesting article here on the 8.55x55. Includes some load data (obviously can’t verify) in a few bullet weights. The author is certainly a fan!

Re: Anyone reloading 8.5x55 Blaser?
Coming in late on this but saw the interesting comment re Bertram: has anyone obtained any brass from him and care to share the headstamp? I know he sells brass labelled WR for Romey but I was hoping Norma was made in house, not in Victoria…
As for reloading, has anyone tried the 225g Accubond or care to speculate on how fast these would be launched in a 20 inch stutzen barrel?

Frankonia has two rifles for sale a Mauser 18 and an R8 with the integral silencer. No ammo or brass.
Triebel has no ammo or brass.
Riemer Johannsen has no brass, but has the Lutz Moeller-esque https://johannsen-shop.de/50-GM-Patrone ... Tip/293863

RJ has Lee dies https://johannsen-shop.de/LEE-MATRIZENS ... ion/283073
Can’t recall what I paid for my Lee .45 Blaser dies but do recall they came from Triebel and I ordered the factory crimp from Titan reloading… you’d think Titan should be able to get both
