    Vz24 8mm06

    Hi everyone, a friend has finished a project in an old vz24 that has transformed to 8mm06. It has jwords sierra 200 grains and win 760, magnum primers. Any recipe with these components? or at least where can I find some table for this wildcat
    Thank you very much

    Sierra Bullets loading manual has data for the cartridge.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    You can use 30-06 data for 200 grain bullets to start with, if you don't find 8mm-06 data.

    I built two 8mm-06's in the past.
    An old Speer Manual had loads for it as I think Cartridges of the world.
    Those were two fine shooting Poor Man's Magnums.
    In a way , I liked them better than my 35 Whelens

    I've just started working with an 8mm-06. So far, soesn't like the cast bullets I've shot in it, but I think it will come around.

    All of my reloading manuals seem to have jacketed bullet data for it. I would think 760 to be a bit slow for full ballistics in it, but I've had real good accuracy with it in the .30-06.

    This month's edition of Handloader Magazine has an article about the 8mm-06 in it, might want to pick up a copy.

    My 260 Rem. and 8mm-06 are my favorite guns. I shoot mostly 140 gr. jacketed.
