Does anyone have a starting load or quickload starting point for the 8x57 with RL-17? It is a 24" Douglas barrel and it is going to be fresh Nosler brass. I'm planning on using the Hornady 195 gr interlock. Maybe.

The second question is: how does the interlock compare with the 196 SPCE, the 200 Accubond, and the 196 Oryx? I've hunted pretty extensively with the 195 Interlock, but I've been having a hard time finding them lately. I also have a bunch of 200 Speer Hot Cors.


Why is abbreviate such a long word
