European Load data for 8MM Mauser

[kawicrash]

Norma and Vihtavuori have apps with reloading data, but only with their respective powders.

My pet load uses the 180 Nosler Ballistic Tip over VVN !50 powder.
In fact the load itself is so accurate I have to ask...... how does one measure a one-hole group ??

CGN standard is to measure the widest part to the nearest .01", subtract the calibre, and then divide by 3.

When you look at data titles, 8mm Mauser = SAAMI
8x57IS = CIP
CIP ( European) data is much higher pressure/velocity/performance.

The SAAMI limit is based on the weaker action of German Gewehr 1888 rifles.
