8x57mm with 195 grain bullet reloading data

[GunsNotPuns]

It's likely that I've gotten old enough that I no longer have the patience or ability to research adequately but I cannot for the life of me find reloading data for the 8x57mm cartridge utilizing a 195 grain bullet. Everyone seems to go up to 180 grain bullets, skip anything in the 190s, and then resume at 200 grain.

Does anyone have any data for this combination, preferably using BL-C(2)? (or Varget if necessary)

52 grs. of IMR 4350 will get you to around 2500 fps. Don't have any info for the other powders.

Well, that's a start. I just loaded up on BL-C(2) today so I was hoping to tap into that but if I have to get some IMR 4350 it shall be done.

Hornady has 195 and 196 grain .323 bullets, I can check my manual a little later today.
Hornady tends to group close in weight bullets together in the manuals.

Much obliged. I didn't want to buy the Hornady manual just for one bullet weight that I may never use again.

The nosler data for a 200 grain bullet with IMR 4350 is min load 48 and max load 52. The feet per second with the 52 is 2698. The nosler sheet doesn't have data for your BL-C powder so I cant give you any info on that
The info I have for a 195 grain bullet with IMR 4350 is the same as the nosler data, not sure which reloading book its from as I got the data from a friend
hope this helps

Every little bit of information helps!

You can safely use any data for 200 gn bullets for a similar shaped 195.

Kawicrash, I don't know when you will be able to collect but I owe you a beer or two. Until then you have my gratitude.

No worries. Others on CGN have helped me out in the past, and I'm happy to pay it forward.
