Reloading Data to 8mm rem mag and 416 rem mag. Both have 24" barrel.

lsjonsson · November 16, 2010, 08:11 AM

Hi and Good morning!

I have, those above calibers in my arsenal and I keep on looking for reloading data for these calibers. To my 8mm rem mag, I have a pretty good charge. I use where the Swift A-frame 220 gr, 215 Federal primer and gunpowder Norma MRP and get V0 approximately 860 m / s. Are there any of you who have a better charge with the same bullet with higher V0 m / s?

Earlier this year I bought Rem. 700 Safari in caliber 416 rem. mag. and which uses the former owner of Wood Leigh RN 400 gr, 215 Federal primer and gunpowder Norma 203B. I had to inaugurate it last fall by shooting a female moose in Sweden. I have some loads to 416 r m but I am interested in more loads for this caliber.

In Sweden there is no importer of Alliance Powder now and it is very sad. I have used this powder before my 8 mm r m

I thank you in advance and hope I can help with this.

PS.
My English is not the best but I hope you understand what I have written.

Do you have IMR powders in Sweden? If so, IMR 4831 is hard to beat in the 8mm. Remington Mag.

My load is.

CCI-250 Mag. Primer
200 Gr. Nosler Partition
78.5 grains IMR 4831.
2875-2900 FPS. 26 inch barrel.

This load is very very accurate. Well, first shot anyway. After that I’m spent. (Flinch)
Hold on.......

I would start at 76.0

and work up.
