[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 4008896, member: 51836"] Most factory loading for 8x57 in the US are seriously under loaded (Krag ballistics) because of the large number of 88 style actioned rifles in circulation to this day. For what its worth PPU offers two loading here in the US one is the weaker loaded hunting ammo with soft points and another which replicates military loading . Which 175 grain bullet do you have SP or FMJ ? Assuming your German 8mm is a 98 or other modern action such as a Sauer you can load the 8x57 to significantly better performance levels than most of the factory loaded offerings, as far as loading data goes you can use published load data and work your way up past the max in half grain increments watching for pressure signs .
