Hello...

I load 2 bullets for the MAS 49/56. 

150gr. Hornady Spire Point: IMR 4895  45.0 grns

165gr. Hornady Spire Point:  IMR 4895  40.0 grns

Brass:  Graf's 7.5 French

Primers:  CCI #34, to prevent slamfires

Both these loads work real good for me.

Cheers,
Gary

thanks for the load information, will be trying soon.  Can anything be done to these rifles to limit or soften the ejection?
