Does anyone have a source of load data for this caliber?

Many thanks!

Vitahouri Manual.
Page 174.
180 50 N140.
Look at a burn rate chart.
Fire and adjust.
I have other loads but will have to dig them out.

Gotcha and will do- much appreciated!

Dug out my load book; PM me your email or text and I'll send them to you.

Here's the data for 8x57IRS from the German loading manual "Wiederladen", 4th edition

So many online...

The data I have is with powders that you have. I have not seen any Norma or VV powder around here for a very long time.

BTW We have no clue where Dahav is from or what powders he has or can buy.

What I believe Accurate powders are available in USA if it is the right place. Here are data for Lovex powders made by Explosia, Czech Republic. They made powders for Accurate in the past.



Here is the solution:

S062 is clone of Accurate 4064
S070 is clone of Accurate 4350

At least S062 is US available as AA 4064 or Shooters World (US brand for Lovex powders) as S062 directly: https://www.midwayusa.com/s?Br...m=smokeless%20powder

Many thanks! Very helpful and I appreciate it.

If one is going to handload, he should have a few reloading books. one of those pamplet books that show all loads for a certain caliber that cost less than 2 dollars...

I would hesitate to shoot someone elses loads in my guns unless I knew them well and knew my business...The books all vari as much as the advise you get on here..so start low and work up, at least to start with...trust the US books to a degree...they have a safty measure written in due to law suits...there are caliber exceptions particularly the 7x57 and 8x57 that are underloaded to be hell due to the number of poorly designed rifles that shoot those two caliber, both outstanding caliber in proper rifles..Study those manuals..
