First post...here goes...
I am working up some reloads for a K98k mauser. I have an NOE mold I am casting with hardball and then sizing to .323". With a copper gas check and fully lubed with carnauba blue, they come in around 215 grains.
From what I've read, H4895 is superior to H335 with 8mm. While I have a good supply of H335 on hand, I don't have any H4895 and refuse to pay over $100/lb. right now with today's going prices. I have found decent, safe loads worked up using H335 and the Lee 175 grain boolits. I've also found recipes starting at 40 grains of H4895 for 220 grain slugs. However, I can't find any information or load data with the heavier slugs and H335.
Any suggestions for starting loads of H335 with heavier boolits in the 210-220 grain range? Not overly concerned with maximum fps right now, just something safe and accurate to start with for plinking until prices and supply hopefully normalize and I can get some H4895.
