[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2766983, member: 15054"] Here is a great video on loading the 8x50R. He took Hornady #3330 bullets that measure .338" and ran them through a lee bullet sizer to make them .331" and added 43gr of 3031 powder.\ If it was my gun i would probably try to find a cast bullet mold and shoot cast from it to begin with as this is a low pressure round and the same powder will work with the cast loads. I shoot cast from my 30-30.. yes not the same cat.. but i have used many powders with great success in it with gas checked cast bullets. I used Varget ,3031, H4530, red dot, IMR and Hercules 2400. all of them shot very good with H4350 being best.. who would have thought. That is not even listed in load data. Neck turning my 30-30 brass really improved the cast loads accuracy. I have neck turned for my .308 and noticed no accuracy improvements. What the neck turning did for me in the 30-30 was eliminate those pesky unexplained fliers. So if you are searching for ultimate accuracy this may be something to check out. Here is the video on reloading the 8x50R [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss8KzT8orbE[/url] [/QUOTE]
