Anyone have any idea how much powder would be recommended for a Hammer 8mm 200 grain in a necked down .338 Win Mag case? About what velocity would be expected from a 24" barrel? Is the increase in recoil worth it to switch from a 6.5mm 130 at 3,190 feet per second to the new barrel? Read more: http://hammerbullets.boards.net/thread/851/powder-8-338-win-mag#ixzz6AksmquMJ

You could likely get away with loads for an 8mm Rem Mag.
Had one once. That was the worst kicking SOB I ever owned. Got rid of it.

I'm thinking about 72 gr H4350 would be OK and give about 2,850-2,900 FPS.
Maybe start at 68 gr and work up.
