Some of you may recall, I found out the hard way my type 99 was rechambered to a wildcat. Char-Gar correctly ID'd it as a 30-06 ICL Caribou. Some time searching the net and scrounging for the cash, I found a nice barrel at Schludershots.com down in Round Rock Texas. A great company to do business with by the way. It came, and a while later I got it up to the D&D Gunsmiths in Troy Michigan, who have done some excellant work for me in the past. It's finished, and I'm going to pick it up after Labor day.
It got me thinking about a load for it. I don't have any data for it other than the Trail Boss formula I was using, and the Harris 2400 rule. I'd like to use SR-4759 with a Lyman 314299. If anyone has info I'd appreciate it. Also, I'd like any input about using 8MM Mauser data. These cartridges are almost twins, and I've got lots of load data for the 8mm.
