8MM JDJ information or advice.

[Guest]

Anyone out there ever used the 8MM JDJ round? I have a 375 JDJ but I am looking into a true wildcat and would think a 8MM JDJ in a 23 carbine contender would be a great deer gun for the heavy wooded area of wisconsin I hunt. I was looking to use the 180 Ballistic Tips for deer and if bear hunting the 200 Grain partitions. Any idea/thoughts on this setup would be appricated. Also any link to a place with 8MM JDJ reloading information would help also. The web people at SSK havn't been very forth coming with reloading information when I asked them about the 8MM JDJ and I havn't had much luck finding anyone else that has used one. I know the 8MM is not a wildly popular round but somebody out there must know something. Thanks in advance.

I posted this to another form by mistake, this is a better place.

h 8MM JDJ reloading information

Have no information.
But when I look at the 375 JDJ cases and compare with 8x57JS cases are they very close.
So proberly you can use 8x57JS loads??

coyotehunter,

I think your bullet selection is dead on. As for loading data, I think JD Jones sells the load data he has developed.
