Hello all, Have a 700 Classic in 8 mag and am wondering about some good loads. A friend once gave me a mixed bag of some bullets ranging from:
170 semi-spitzers (Speer I think)
200 Nosler partitions
220 Hornadys (Not positive-But is a crimping grove and are flat at the base)
220 Sierras (Not positive- But they are boat tailed)
225 unknown brand (most of the lead tips are deformed and or falling out of these ones)
Question. What would be a good combo for my gun. Mostly for regular moose, some deer, etc. My friend used IMR4350 mostly for his 8 mag and wondering if this is still a good powder choice? Any help would be appreciated. I'm not against trying some newer bullets or powders. Thanks.
