8x68S reloading data

[Pieter van Jaarsveld]

Good day everyone,

I’m looking for someone to help me with data on loads for the 8x68. I got a hold of 180gr and 220gr Northfork SS projectiles.

Any help will greatly appreciated.

TIA.

very similar to the 8mm REM Mag. Woodleigh and VV have data for the 8 X 68

VV shows 200 gr. Speer with 72.2 gr N160. (max. Load) at 2890 fps.

Woodleigh shows 220 gr. PPSN with 74 gr. RL22 (max load) at 2810 fps.

No data for 180 grainers.

75.5 gr. IMR 4831 (max) for 3100 fps

195 Grain Interlock SP or BTHP Match:
68.1 gr. IMR 4350 (max) for 2900 fps
68.2 gr. H4350 (max) for 2900 fps
70.4 gr. IMR 4831 (max) for 2900 fps
69.` gr. VV N160 (max) for 2800 fps
72.0 gr. Norma MRP (max) for 2800 fps

Good luck.
