Here is a powder maker website, this is excellent data for free - but be careful.

or

I checked 6.5x55, H4831 I am using 41 grains with 160 grain bullets in old small ring M96 Mauser.

The website shows 44 start and 48 max. But, no verbage. is this for modern rifles of the old guns. I have a lot of books and some or one, broke down the data for older guns and I am close to the top (or well past mid point) for the load for the older guns. The older manuals are much hotter. I dont need/want that kind of load.
