Hi,
Some more info about my 8x64S Brenneke and 180grs bullets.
Have find out that Norma 203-B is the powder that best gives accurancy and velocity.
Have tried the follow bullets in 8mm:
* Nosler BallisticTip 180grs
* Remington SP 185grs
* Barnes TSX 180grs
* Laupa Naturalis 180grs
I used S&B...
Anyone who hunt with the twinnbrother 8mm-06??
Experiance of loading 8mm-06 would also be of great intrest.
Will soon start to try the Barnes TSX 180grs also, time to try unlead bullets to have a good hunting load for 2008 when proberly the lead will be banned for hunting in Sweden.
First game with 8mm 200grs Accubond.
A roedeer
The bullet worked very fine and was gently at the short distance, around 40yds. After the hit the deer run 10yds before it gave up.
Now looking forward to see how the combination works for big game?
In the new "Norma Reloading Manual" they use Winschester magnum LR primer to all calibers.
Here can you see some of the loadings from the new book:

Hi,
To 7x64 you can use starting loads for 280Rem for 7x64, take a look at my .280Rem webpage for loads.
Click at "Fabriksladdningar 1" or/and "Fabriksladdningar 2" factoryloads from bullets / powder manufactoryes.
But the C.O.L are not useful for 7x64, you have to do your own messure for the...
Done some bullets test.
Shoot the 8mm Accubond in wet newspapper at 2620fps from 10yds.
Holds together real fine and penetrate around 23 inch.
