8mm Mauser

[Ironramrod]

Klaus, I checked in a recent edition of the Lyman loading manual, and they don't list Bullseye or Red dot as recommended powders for the 8 mm Mauser. Bullseye is listed #4 in the burn rate chart, and Red dot is listed #6 out of 114 powders listed. A couple of powders they do recommend are IMR 4198 and IMR 4895 w/ both cast and copper jacketed bullets. The burn rate rating for the 4198 is 59, and for the 4895 is 73; looks like Bullseye and Red dot may be too fast burning for best shooting precision.

Hope this helps.
