Light practice loads in the 8x57mm?

I know this has been discussed extensively sometime back. I can't find the thread in the search.

Could someone point me to the thread where someone discussed very light kicking practice loads using pistol powder? I am going to load some up and use them for practice, as I am out of Turk corrosive rounds. 8mmFan

I can't help you with the thread but here are some loads I worked up with Blue DotI started with 16grains and stopped at these loads. They were not Max. in my rifle.

1. 150gr. psp 24gr. Blue Dot 2080fps.
2. 185gr.psp. 23gr Blue Dot 1855fps.

again these wer not max.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
