Anyone have any pet loads for an 8x68S?

sbsmith RWS cases CCI250 primers and 200 gr Speer or Nosler partitions. About 70 grs of V160 is near max in my rifle. About 74 grs of IMR 4831 is also max with excellent groups as well.I worked up most loads using the Speer bullet. After finding the max load I would drop back a few grs and switch to the Partition bullet. Both bullets group to same spot in my rifle. RL19 also shows promise. My rifle is a Brno 602 with a huge magazine and long throat so I would suggest you start well below the loads above .

My favorite loads for my 8X68S are:
1 ;RWS cases, federal 215 primers, 71g Norma MRP and 250g Woodleigh RN..2700fps
2 ;Blaser cases, Fed 215 primers, 73g Norma MRP and Swift 220g A-frame..2900fps
3 ;Blaser cases, federal 215 primers, 70g vith N-160 and 180g Nosler Balistic tip...3200fps

My 8X68S is a Custom Ruger no 1, with 25,5" Douglas barrel 1:10" twist. All of these loads groups vell under 1" for 3 shots at 100m
