Reloading 8 x 56R Hungarian

[pmarcott]

I have just aquired all of the components to load 8mm x 56R Hungarian.
The bullet is .330 (205 gr.)
I am looking for the proper powder for this bullet weight. Burn rate and suggested type.
I normally use IMR 4064.
Thanks in advance.

i use IMR4064 with the hornady 205 grain bullet. i started with the data supplied with the lee dies (which appears to be the same weak data lee lists for the 8x57) and kept adding power until the load shot to the sights at 100 yards.

my load only chrono'ed at just over 1900 fps, but it did the job on a muley that was probably 200 lb on the hoof.
