I am getting a Mauser 98K that has gone for rechambering in a couple of weeks.

The two caliber options I have are 8x60S or 8x64S. However I have been unable to find any reloading data on these.

Nothing at all in the Lyman 48th Edition, and I peeked the Speer manual briefly today as well. Zip...

Would appreciate any help on this.

There's a little load data for both cartridges in my "Cartridges Of The World" book by Frank Barnes. If you don't already have the book, or access to it, shoot me a PM and I'll type the load data up and send it to you. I don't have a scanner, but I'll try my best to not make a mistake.:)

Try going to www.reloadersnest.com , I found both listed there, though not alot of data.They both look like pretty good rounds, in the 2600 to 2700 fps range.

Good luck!

Here is one more for the 8x60S.

Try the 8mmX63S -- that's the .30-06 necked up to 8mm and is a fine round for your rifle. And you can get brass everywhere.:p

Loading data is simple -- use .30-06 data for equivallent bullet weights, or starting load data for the .338-06.
