Some time ago I purchased a Yugo Mauser in 8mm and it has gathered dust mostly.
I wanted to try a CB load for the rifle, so here is my story.
I don't have any molds for that caliber but wanted to try a CB load. Just couldn't find a boolit from most suppliers. Finally I got some from a supplier that were for a 32-40. the boolits were sized .323 and were not gas checked. 170 gr. RN/FP is the design I chose.
My loading books didn't have too much information on 32-40 loads so finding some ideas for starting loads on that weight and type of boolit wasn't easy.
I finally settled on 8 grs. of Unique and got a load that chronographed at 1180 fps.
It shot well and didn't kick the snot out of me.
Anybody else got ideas on what to use. Powders, boolits place to look for loading data on CB load?
Ideas and advice would be appreciated.
