I picked up an M-S full stock a couple years ago. I have had good luck with Norma Oryx 156 gr, very accurate, and Privi-Partisan brass. Strangely, the Privi-Partisan factory loaded ammo would not feed from the magazine - it was too short, and could not make it up the feeding ramp. Overall length is very important with these rifles it seems.
Good luck!
Haven't fired it yet, I have loaded 156 oryx in norma brass. Had no hope of feeding at the 2.894" in the norma data. Ended up at 3.06" and feeds perfectly and still has a fair jump to the lands. It's a F.Beesley retailed rifle built in 1929 and sold in 1932 for £16
