Ok I’ve tried IMR4350 and H4831sc but they are short on velocity, next I have IMR4064, H cfe223 and that is about it! I can load data for 4064 but nothing for cfe223….
What are you using and what are your results!
 
Need Bullet weight / OAL / type and rifle barrel length etc

if it a converted Mauser Barrel twist ?

Even the Brass you use will have a effect on velocity / pressure

Accuracy is more important than Velocity

What bullet weight?

I believe he's looking for loads for the 196/200 grain bullets.

Unlike most such wildcats, the 8mm-06 really steps up velocities with lighter bullets. Usually it's the other way around.

The loads you list look to be smoking hot.

3360fps with W760 and 175gr bullets is moving right along.

I wonder what length barrel they were using for that test?
 
Yes 200gn speer hot-cor, fed 215 LRMP, Norma brass, COAL is 3.289”.
The barrel is 23” military step barrel.
I also have some H4350 but some say it is too slow for what I want!
 
Speer says 4064 is your best bet for velocity, 53 grains loaded at 3.250 in reformed winchester brass, work up and be safe, 200 grains at 2600 feet per second will punch a good hole through just about anything, and the best part is, you can eat right up to the bullet hole once you brush the hair out of the meat
 
Good day all, just got back from the range trying out some powders and the best result for accuracy and velocity is with CFE223
58gn over fed LRMP and topped with 200gn speed hot-cor going 2745fps… the load isn’t compress and there is no signs of pressure, easy bolt lift, easy extraction, and no flattening or cratering of the primers!! That also gives over 3340flbs of muzzle energy!
To be continued!

One way to approach this is to use load data that falls between 30-06 and 338-06 for any given powder and bullet weight. Only bore sizes vary.

If you look at published load data and compare it, 8mm-06 Start loads are close to 30-06 Max Loads and 8mm-06 Max Loads are close to 338-06 Start Loads.
