I have searched here & elsewhere until I fell asleep at the wheel, so I will just ask if anyone has a load for this particular bullet? I have 200gr sp's & SMKHPs & 220 gr heavies for 8x57, and 150s & 175s, but have never shot this particular bullet. They looked so nice I bought 500, but before I start extrapolating & working up loads, if anyone has a proven performer I would appreciate the input. My best load with the 175 gr SP (Rem or Hornady, not at shop now) was a hot one with 2520 in new Rem cases, gave me a repeatable 1" 100-yd group off the bench (glass-bedded VZ-24, open sights!), so that rifle at least is capable of good accuracy. I am starting to like the idea of shooting bullets of the original design, along with the heavies, just for fun. I have 4, 3 K98Ks (one a Yugo post-war re-bbl) and the VZ-24. Next comes cast bullets...
Thanks,
