Reloading for my 8 MM RM

[Coyotes-R-Us]

[size:14pt]

OK, I was out "testing" today.
8mmRM, 200 TSX and 220 Serra.
Mag Pro
h1000
RL 26.
100 yards off bags.
For whatever reason, the 8 Will NOT shoot Mag Pro with either bullet.

The H1000 showed some promise with the 220 gr but with the higher loads I was testing was a no go in fact It over Pressured on the first test.

VERY hard to open the bolt.

The RL 26 looked good with the 200 last time, so we upped it and tested again.

84.5, 85, 85.5 and 86 GR.

84.5 was ok but the 85 was outstanding, 85.5 opened up and 86 barely stayed on paper.

SO is this "good enough"? Speed is right at 3100 FPS.






That's under 1/2"(12.24M) at 100 yards.
I'll revisit the 220's later maybe but I think I found my load.

200 grain 32 cal. bullet at 3100 fps!!??  Might do for rabbits if you could get that group to tighten. 

Actually, that is OUTSTANDING!     What an elk load.

Hope so.
If I zero it at its point-blank range 232 yards. It is around 2 1/2 high at 100 and 2 1/2" low at 300.
SO never have to guess out to 300 yards on deer or elk.
PS the bullet is still supersonic at 1000 yards.
