Hello all,

After a break, I have started back with my reloading experiments. I am now loading Naturalis bullets for a new caliber: 8X68S. I have a custom Mauser rifle in this caliber which I have not shot yet. wink I am mounting a scope on it and while waiting for New England Custom Gun to furnish the proper scope mounts for this rifle, I started developing a load for it:

70-75 grains of N560 powder (made by Vihta Vuori of Norway), New RWS brass, Lapua Naturalis bullets (180 grain).

In my previous loads, I used Norma MRP as my main powder but have now started experimenting with N560 as well. It is approximately the same burn rate as MRP but might lead to better results and/or less temperature sensitivity. I am going to test this powder in 300 Weatherby, 7mm Mag and 338 Mag as well.

Any suggestions or comments?
