8x57j load data

[dexter9659]

Does anyone have load data for a 190gr SP or 150gr SP .318 bullet in 8x57j? (Note this is not .323) Im hoping to see some data in IMR4350, but any data will do.

It might help to post the rifle you will be shooting it in. If it's a pre 98 action like a 1888 or a Drilling, you will need lower pressure data.

The rifle is an old Merkel Drilling double 16, 8x57j.

If the gun is a drilling as you describe, It's very likely chambered for 8X57 J R(rimmed). Do you know for sure it's chambered for 8X57 J(rimless version)?

I know the load data for the 8X57 J and 8X57 J R are the same. I have a friend with a 16X16 Ga. By 8X57J R Drilling he loads for. I'll look in some of my very old loading manual for any data.
