8x57mm heavy bullet loads
I have a new to me Lee two cavity mould. On top it is stamped 8mm Max. A long flat nose design that drops at 250grs from my alloy. The sectional density of these has to be .300 or better!
What loads have worked for this bullet?
My rifle is a Polish 98 in good order.
I’m sure that I can use Unique or Red Dot but I also have IMR 4227, 4198, and 3031.
Thanks in advance.

I do have a Lee 175 gr mould, but the first time I tried it the halves weren’t seating square so I’ve repaired it but I haven’t cast with it since.
I did use some older Lee 175s that I had from a previous 8mm and they did work well.
The Max did have the gas check below the neck- it’s a long bullet. I wasn’t pleased with it accuracy wise and I got some leading as well.
That experiment failed.
