Q: I am writing to request your assistance with load data for an older 
European calibre. I am planning to have a rifle built in the style of 
a Modell b Mauser and have decided upon 10.75x68mm Mauser as the calibre. 
I know that Bertram makes cases and that Woodleigh makes projectiles. 

I have found some load data on-line, but am reluctant to use it as it 
doesnot come from reputable, verified sources. Can you provide any data 
using ADI powders.

A: Woodleigh makes both a .423-inch soft-point and solid for the 
10.75x68mm. However, you could also use the 400gn .422-inch bullets 
Woodleigh makes for the .404 Jeffery in your gun. 

A charge of 60gn of AR2206H should be safe behind the 347gn .423-inch 
Woodleigh bullet, and 78gn of AR2209 with the 400gn .422- inch bullets. 

I would stress, however, that you use these loads at your own risk, 
as I have not tried them.
