Planning on Reloading 8mm Mauser. Will be putting it through VZ24, K98k etc.
Any recommendations?
Did the Czechs use 150 gr before WW2 like the Germans?
Anyone trying to replicate the German 198 gr load?

I used IMR 4064 and the Hornady 175 rn for hunting whitetails and also used Norma 196g bullets and Hornady 195 grainers. Accuracy was good with all bullets using IMR4064 and Varget. I tried the 150's but found they didn't hold up as well at 300 yards. If you want more info PM me and I will dig out my old load book.
 
The no1 bullet that shoots good in all of the mausers i had is hornady 170gr round nose bullet 51 gr with imr 4350 at 2450ft/s.

It worked good in my turkish,yugo,spanish, czech,and german
 
I've used Varget and 4895 with 180gr Noslers. Turned in some decent groups at 100yd though dads old Mauser so I haven't bothered to play around too much and that's what I've stuck with.
