Reloading for 8x50 austrian
I need some help with reloading my budapest carbine. It is in excellent shape excellent bore and still some bluing left. I reloaded with some brass from Buffalo arms made from 45-70 goverment brass. It was expensive both the die set and the brass, but I wanted it. I reloaded about 8 rounds with a .323 round nose lead that I poured myself. I used IMR 3031 and used 45 grains. It shot fine just high like most do. Question is that I have a bout 120 .323 spritzer type bullets that I pulled from 7.9 russian cartridge. they weigh in at 200 grains. What would you suggest as a starting point for IMR 3031 or is there a better powder? I would appreciate any and all info that you can give me.
