    Starting loads for 326471 in 8 x 57 Yugo?

    I just cast up some NOE 326471 pb and gc for my M48, man do they look MEAN! Placed my order with Al on Sat, received my mold on Tuesday, load some up tomorrow, and shoot them this weekend, awesome! I need some starting points for load development? I have IMR 4895, 3031, 5744, and SR 4759 powders available. I wasn't too excited about getting a combo pb and gc mold, but now that I see them, maybe just as fun to shoot thru the M48? THANKS for your help, Flyer

    I found my answer. Looks like 10-11 grains of Trail Boss for the plain base. The gas checks will start over 28 grains of IMR 4895, work up to 34, with 1/2 grain of Dacron filler. Still interested in SR 4759 and 5744, other pb loads if you can help. Thanks,Flyer

    I've used 18-22 grains of 5744 with the NOE 326471 GC with good accuracy in my 24/47 Yugo. I suppose you could go with a heavier charge, but I saw no need.
