I ordered these and they are set to be here today according to MidwayUSA. I am going to reload them for the 8mm Rem MAg. Anyone have any suggestions for the use of R-25? I plan on using winchester magnum rifle primers.

No help here.... but let me know what you find out since I've been eyeballing those balistic tips for my 8mag. I wish Nosler would have made their initial offering a bit heavier like 200 and I'd love to see one in 210 grains.

I'm also curious about how tough they will be. Will they be strong enough to handle the velosity of the 8mag? Or are they made for 8mm mauser velosities?

My custom 8mm rem mag took 83 gr of RL 25 to reach 3100 fps with the 220 Sierra BT or the 220 Hornady. I would say around this would be a good place to start. What are you going to hunt with them BT's antelope or coyotes :-) ? Good luck.
