Go over to the "Reloading" Section and check at "Nosler Manual Loads for 8mm Mauser" and etc. May wish to do a search on "8x57" Should find all the info you need.
Regards,

Try a 185gr Corelock, WLR primer, WW case and 48.0gr of IMR 4320. I used a similar load to take my deer at 250 yards last year.

IMR 4064, Rlr 15 and IMR 4895 seem to be the favorites for the 8X57 reguardless of the bullet you choose. Enjoy it!

48g of Varget,Winchester LRP, Remington case and 170g Hornady rn. This load should be going about 2700fps, but I do not know for sure, but it is very accurate in my rifle.

South 40, my guns (M48 and a Portuguese 1904) like this load.

1)reformed LC '68 match brass
2)WLR primer
3)185gr R-P Core-lokt
4)49.5gr. IMR 4895
5)COL: 3.010"
6)Vel: 2575fps.

Really slaps the gong at 300 yards.

H-380 is the Best powder in the 8x57, accurate and fast.
