Load data 8X58R Danish

[longhunter79]

I need some help. I have searched the posts and need help finding a safe load for a 8x58R Danish rolling block. I will be shooting Cast only I have several moulds and ordered the Karabiner mould from Lee. So any help working up safe loads would be a big help.
Thanks in advance

Stay below 22kpsi.

My Swede shoots like a laser with the 8mm rifle bullet.


I load 32grains Vv N133 for 1800+fps and @21kpsi

Remember the 8x58RD was made for a KJ action like your 30-40.
When they tried it in the old RB's they crapped out fast and a reduced load was devised.
The Swede has a 1:11.8" twist and will spin the longest of them without issues.
