Hello skeettx,

Is your interest because you have 8mm Lebel rifle? If so, what kind?

I've experimented with bullet weights from jacketed .323 dia 125g at 2600 - up to lead .327 dia 245g at 1525 fps. So far the best groups have been with jacketed .323 dia 225g at 2000 fps. All tested loads were with IMR 4895.

However, all groups have "crossed" at 50 yds and final results have not been acceptable.

I'm off to the range today to test some jacketed .321 dia 245g loads using IMR 4007 SSC and IMR 3031. I'm hoping the results will be better.
