I am loading 39 grains of IMR 4895 and firing a 147 grain boat tail full metal jacket bullet for my 1916 Spanish Mauser 7.62 with 20 inch barrel. Im using .308 brass. The recoil is mild and the accuracy is good, but i want to know the pressure of this load as i am trying to be safe with this old rifle.
