8x50r lebel

[577/450]

Just picked up a lebel in shooting condition, got brass, dies and bullets. Anyone out there that has old load books that have loads for this calibre? The data I need would be for the 200 and 220gr bullets???? supposedly the military loadings of the time. Thanks in advance.

I use 46.0 grains of IMR3031 under 196 grain jacketed bullets which creates around 40kpsi and duplicates milspec pressures/velocities.

"Cartridges of the World- 9th Ed." lists 45 gr. of 4895 for a 198 gr. SP bullet

"The Handloader's Guide to Cartridge Conversions" shows 47.5 gr. of IMR4895 but that is only for 170 gr. spire point bullets.
