[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 593444, member: 10178"] My Hodgdon 2011 manual says a start load for the 8X57mm Mauser with IMR 4895 with a 200 gr bullet is 39.0 grs for 2112 fps and the max load is 45.0 grs for 2409 fps. Data was from a 24" barrel Remington case and Rem. 9 1/2 primer. COAL 2.970 Bullet used was a 200 gr Speer SP. This manual says that Varget and H4350 will get you 100 more fps. I have had good accuracy with 42.0 grs IMR 4064 with the 200 gr SMK. Load is the accuracy load from the Sierra manual and it says it is doing 2200 fps from a M48 Mauser with 23" barrel. In a Yugo M48 Mauser 43.5 grs Varget with Fed 210 match primer Rem case and the 200 gr SMK OAL 3.165 shoot really good. Sierra manual says the velocity should be 2250 fps. [/QUOTE]
